A uniform rod of length 2l and mass m hangs from a small smooth ring of mass M free to slide on a smooth horizontal rail. The rod has moment of inertia I about its center of mass, and swings in the vertical plane containing the rail. Required:
Examine the limits M → [infinity] and M → 0. Explain the results.

Afigure skater is rotating at a rate of 200 revolutions per minute. what is the angular speed, in units of rad/s? 20.9 12000 200 3.33

Acup of coffee sits on the dashboard of an automobile. the car goes around a sharp curve. even though you hold the cup still, coffee still splashes out. this can best be explained due to a) density. b) friction. c) gravity. d) inertia.

Two steel balls, each of mass m, are welded to a light rod of length l and negligible mass and are initially at rest on a smooth horizontal surface. a horizontal force of magnitude f is suddenly applied to the rod as shown. determine (a) the instantaneous acceleration a of the mass center g and (b) the corresponding rate at which the angular velocity of the assembly about g is changing with time.
