A 12-cm-diameter CD has a mass of 21g. What is the CD's moment of inertia for rotation about a perpendicular axis (a) through its center and (b) through the edge of the disk?
Calculate the moment of inertia of the rectangular plate in FIGURE P12.54 for rotation
about a perpendicular axis through the center.
Blocks of mass m1 and m2 are connected by a massless string that passes over the pulley in Figure P12.65. The pulley turns on frictionless bearings. Mass m1 slides on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Mass m2 is released while the blocks are at rest.
a. Assume the pulley is massless. Find the acceleration of m1 and the tension in the string. This is a Chapter 7 review problem.
b. Suppose the pulley has mass mp and radius R. Find the acceleration of m1 and the tensions in the upper and lower portions of the string. Verify that your answers agree with part a if you set mp = 0.
A V -diameter turntable rotates at on frictionless bearings. Two blocks fall from above, hit the turntable simultaneously at opposite ends of a diameter, and stick. What is the turntable's angular velocity, in rpm, just after this event?
