Four identical particles of mass 0.50kg each are placed at the vertices of a square and held there by four massless rods, which form the sides of the square. What is the rotational inertia of this rigid body about an axis that (a) passes through the midpoints of opposite sides and lies in the plane of the square, (b) passes through the midpoint of one of the sides and is perpendicular to the plane of the square, and (c) lies in the plane of the square and passes through two diagonally opposite particles?
Figure 7-37 gives spring force Fxversus position x for the spring–block arrangement of Fig . 7-10 . The scale is set by. We release the block at. How much work does the spring do on the block when the block moves from to (a) x= +5.0 cm, (b) x=-5.0 cm, (c) x=-8.0 cm, and (d) x=-10.0 cm ?
Question: Harvard Bridge, which connects MIT with its fraternities across the Charles River, has a length of 364.4 Smoots plus one ear. The unit of one Smoot is based on the length of Oliver Reed Smoot, Jr., class of 1962, who was carried or dragged length by length across the bridge so that other pledge members of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity could mark off (with paint) 1-Smoot lengths along the bridge. The marks have been repainted biannually by fraternity pledges since the initial measurement, usually during times of traffic congestion so that the police cannot easily interfere. (Presumably, the police were originally upset because the Smoot is not an SI base unit, but these days they seem to have accepted the unit.) Figure 1-4 shows three parallel paths, measured in Smoots (S), Willies (W), and Zeldas (Z). What is the length of 50.0 Smoots in (a) Willies and (b) Zeldas?

Question: Spacing in this book was generally done in units of points and picas: 12 Points = 1 pica , and 6 picas =1 inch. If a figure was misplaced in the page proofs by 0.80cm , what was the misplacement in (a) picas and (b) points?
Question: (a) Assuming that water has a density of exactly 1 gm/cm3, find the mass of one cubic meter of water in kilograms. (b) Suppose that it takes 10.0 h to drain a container of 5700 m3of water. What is the “mass flow rate,” in kilograms per second, of water from the container?
