Chapter 1: Q13DQ (page 294)

Describe how you could use part (b) of Table 9.2 to derive the result in part (d)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expressionl=13Ma2is derived.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of Moment of inertia of Slender rod, axis through one end

The moment of inertia of the slender rod with mass M and length L and axis through one end is given by,

Irod=13ML2

02

Derive the result 13Ma2

Consider the rectangular plate as shown below.

It can be seen that the moment of inertial of the rectangular plate about the axis is lplane. The moment of inertia of a rod with thickness dx and length a is given by,

dI=13(dm)a2         ......(1)

Find dm as follows.

dmM=dxbdm=Mbdx

From equation (1),

dI=13Mbdxa2

Integrate the above equation.

∫dl=∫0b13Mbdxa2l=13Mba2x0b=13Mba2b=13Ma2

Therefore, the expression l=13Ma2is derived.

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

A juggler throws a bowling pin straight up with an initialspeed of 8.20 m/s. How much time elapses until the bowling pinreturns to the juggler’s hand?

The following conversions occur frequently in physics and are very useful. (a) Use 1 mi = 5280 ft and 1 h = 3600 s to convert 60 mph to units of ft/s. (b) The acceleration of a freely falling object is 32 ft/s2. Use 1 ft = 30.48 cm to express this acceleration in units of m/s2. (c) The density of water is 1.0 g/cm3. Convert this density to units of kg/m3.

The “direction of time” is said to proceed from past to future. Does this mean that time is a vector quantity? Explain.

A plastic ball has radius 12.0 cm and floats in water with 24.0% of its volume submerged. (a) What force must you apply to the ball to hold it at rest totally below the surface of the water? (b) If you let go of the ball, what is its acceleration the instant you release it?
