Assume that the maximum load the crane can handle is limited by the amount of torque the load produces around the base of the arm. What maximum torque can the crane withstand if the maximum load the crane can handle is 459 N? Answer in units of N · m. Correct answer: 6598.05 N · m. Explanation: Let : d = 15.0 m and Wmax = 459 N . θ = 90.0◦ − 16.6◦ = 73.4◦ , so τmax = F d sin θ = Wmax d sin θ = (459 N)(15 m)(sin 73.4◦ ) = 6598.05 N · m . 003 10.0 points If the torque required to loosen a nut that is holding a flat tire in place on a car has a magnitude of 46 N · m, what minimum force must be exerted by the mechanic at the end of a 24 cm-long wrench to loosen the nut? Answer in units of N. Correct answer: 191.667 N. Explanation: Let : τ = 46 N · m and d = 24 cm = 0.24 m . For a given torque, the minimum force must be applied perpendicular to the lever arm so that sin θ = sin 90◦ = 1, and τ =Fd τ F = d 46 N · m = 0.24 m = 191.667 N . 004 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points The figure shows a claw hammer as it pulls a nail out of a horizontal board. 002 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points What is the maximum load for this crane at an angle of 25.0◦ with the horizontal? Answer in units of N. Correct answer: 485.343 N. F 31 cm Explanation: Let : θ = 90.0◦ − 25.0◦ = 65.0◦ We have the same maximum torque, so τmax W= d sin θ 6598.05 N · m = (15 m) sin 65◦ = 485.343 N . 1 Single point of contact 34◦ 4.94 cm rawashdeh (ar73422) – Homework 8, torque 21-22 – dowd – (VickeryRPHY1 2) If a force of magnitude 211 N is exerted horizontally as shown, find the force exerted by the hammer claws on the nail.

She pulls in her arms and her rotational speed increases. Choose the best statement below: 1. Her angular speed increases because her angular momentum increases. 2. Her angular speed increases due to a net torque exerted by her surroundings. 3. Her angular speed increases because her angular momentum is the same but her moment of inertia decreases. correct 4. Her angular speed increases because air friction is reduced as her arms come in. 5. Her angular speed increases because by pulling in her arms she creates a net torque in the direction of rotation. 6. Her angular speed increases because her potential energy increases as her arms come in. Explanation: The initial angular momentum of the figure skater is Ii ωi . After she pulls in her arms, the angular momentum of her is If ωf . Note that If < Ii because her arms now rotate closer to the rotation axis and reduce the moment of inertia. Since the net external torque is zero, angular momentum remains unchanged, and so Ii ωi = If ωf = L. Therefore, ωf > ωi . 020 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points And again, choose the best statement below: 10 1. When she pulls in her arms, her rotational potential energy increases as her arms approach the center. 2. When she pulls in her arms, her rotational kinetic energy is conserved and therefore stays the same. 3. When she pulls in her arms, the work she performs on them turns into increased rotational kinetic energy. correct 4. When she pulls in her arms, her rotational kinetic energy must decrease because of the decrease in her moment of inertia. 5. When she pulls in her arms, her moment of inertia is conserved. 6. When she pulls in her arms, her angular momentum decreases so as to conserve energy. Explanation: The kinetic energy of the figure skater, E= 1 1 I ω2 = L ω . 2 2 Since ω increases after she pulls in her arms as mentioned above, the total kinetic energy increases. This additional energy comes from the figure skater, namely she has to perform some work to achieve this. 021 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 2 kg objects.

From conservation of the angular momentum it follows that I i ωi = I f ωf Ii ωf = ωi If 12 kg m2 = (0.73 rad/sec) 8.3136 kg m2 ∆K = Kf − Ki 1 1 = If ωf2 − Ii ωi2 2 2 1 8.3136 kg m2 (1.0537 rad/s)2 = 2 1 − 12 kg m2 (0.73 rad/sec)2 2 = (4.61518 J) − (3.1974 J) = 1.41778 J . and ~ = Constant.

Answer in units of J. Correct answer: 3106.84 J. Explanation: The moment of inertia of the system about the axis of rotation at any moment is I = Id + Im = 1 M R2 + m r 2 , 2 and the kinetic energy at any time is 1 I ω2 2 1 1 2 2 = M R + m r ω2 2 2 1 1 = M R2 ω 2 + m r 2 ω 2 4 2 Krot + Ktrans = Thus the change in kinetic energy of the system is ∆K = Kf − Ki 1 1 2 2 = M R + m rf ωf2 4 2 1 1 2 2 − M R + m ri ωi2 4 2 (13 kg)(2.8 m)2 (92 kg)(0 m)2 = + 4 2 × (11.4257 rad/s)2 (13 kg)(2.8 m)2 (92 kg)(2.8 m)2 − + 4 2 2 × (0.12 rev/s) (2 π rad/rev)2 = 3106.84 J . 12 025 10.0 points A 109 kg man sits on the stern of a 3.9 m long boat. The prow of the boat touches the pier, but the boat isn’t tied. The man notices his mistake, stands up and walks to the boat’s prow, but by the time he reaches the prow, it’s moved 2.91 m away from the pier. Assuming no water resistance to the boat’s motion, calculate the boat’s mass (not counting the man). Answer in units of kg. Correct answer: 37.0825 kg. Explanation: In the absence of external forces, the center of mass of the man–boat system remains at rest. So if the man moves distance ∆Xman and the boat moves distance ∆Xboat , then we must have Mman Xman + Mboat Xboat ∆XCM = ∆ Mman + Mboat Mman ∆Xman + Mboat ∆Xboat =0 = Mman + Mboat and therefore Mman ∆Xman + Mboat ∆Xboat = 0 . Solving this equation for the boat’s mass, we find ∆Xman Mboat = Mman × . −∆Xboat Now, let’s be careful about the displacements. Taking the stern-to-prow direction to be positive, we have the boat moving backward, so ∆Xboat = −2.91 m < 0. As to the man, his displacement relative to the boat is the boat’s full length (stern to prow), so ∆Xrel = +Lboat = +3.9 m, but relative to the pier his displacement is only ∆Xman = ∆Xrel + ∆Xboat = +3.9 m − 2.91 m = +0.99 m . rawashdeh (ar73422) – Homework 8, torque 21-22 – dowd – (VickeryRPHY1 2) Consequently, ∆Xman −∆Xboat +0.99 m = 109 kg × +2.91 m = 37.0825 kg. Mboat = Mman × 13
