- The left-hand end of a uniform rod of length L and mass m is attached to a vertical wall by a frictionless hinge. The rod is held at an angle θ above the horizontal by a horizontal wire that runs between the wall and the right-hand end of the rod. The wire breaks and the rod rotates about the hinge. What is the angular speed of the rod as the rod passes through a horizontal position? (Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables m, g, L, θ.)arrow_forwardConsider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg · m2. The father exerts a force on the merry-go-round perpendicular to its 1.50 m radius to achieve a torque of 375 N · m. (a) Calculate the rotational kinetic energy (in J) in the merry-go-round plus child when they have an angular velocity of 13.4 rpm. J (b) Using energy considerations, find the number of revolutions the father will have to push to achieve this angular velocity starting from rest. revolutions (c) Again, using energy considerations, calculate the force (in N) the father must exert to stop the merry-go-round in six revolutions.
