What is the angular momentum vector of the rotating bar in

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore the angular momentum of the rotating bar is2.1kgm2sk^

Step by step solution

01

Step :1 Introduction 

The rotation between angular momentum and angular velocity of the bar can be

L=Iω

Here, lis the moment of inertia of the bar and ωis the angular velocity of the bar, and the bar is rotating counter clockwise the angular velocity is in thek^direction.

Step :2 Explanation

The rotating bar is as shown in the below figure:

03

Step : 3 Angular velocity 

The mass of bar is 500gconvert the units of mass from gtokg

M=500g

=(500g)1kg1000g

=0.5kg

The angular velocity of the bar is 120rpm.Convert the units of bar from rpmandrads

ω=120revmin2πrad1rev1min60s

=12.6k^rads

The moment of inertia lcan be found using the equation for a thin rod around the center:

I=112Mm2

Substitute 0.5kgfor 2.0mfor lin the above frmula t solve the mooemnt of inertia of the bar

I=112(0.5kg)(2.0m)2

=0.167kgm2

Substitute 0.167kgm2for/and12.6k^radsforωin equation L=Iωto solve the angular momentum of the rotating bar.

L=Iω

=0.167kgm212.6k^rads

=2.1k^kgm2s

The angular momentum is out of the page (counterclockwise rotation )

In FIGURE CP12.88, a 200 g toy car is placed on a narrow 60-cm-diameter track with wheel grooves that keep the car going in a circle. The 1.0 kg track is free to turn on a frictionless, vertical axis. The spokes have negligible mass. After the car’s switch is turned on, it soon reaches a steady speed of 0.75 m/s relative to the track. What then is the track’s angular velocity, in rpm?

The 20-cm-diameter disk in FIGURE EX12.20 can rotate on an axle through its center. What is the net torque about the axle?

A 25 kg solid door is 220 cm tall, 91 cm wide. What is the door's moment of inertia for (a) rotation on its hinges and (b) rotation about a vertical axis inside the door, 15 cm from one edge?

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 1.0 rev/s. Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg, 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 66 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head, where she appears to be a 45 kg, 20-cm-diameter, 200-cm-tall cylinder. What is her new angular velocity, in rev/s?

Consider a solid cone of radius R, height H, and mass M. The volume of a cone is 1/3 πHR2

a. What is the distance from the apex (the point) to the center of mass?
b. What is the moment of inertia for rotation about the axis of the cone?
Hint: The moment of inertia can be calculated as the sum of the moments of inertia of lots of small pieces.
