Rotational motion:
1. A rotational axis is directed perpendicular to the plane of a square and is located as shown in the
drawing. Two forces,𝐹1 and 𝐹2 , are applied to diagonally opposite corners, and act along the sides of
the square, first as shown in part a and then as shown in part b of the drawing. In each case the net
torque produced by the forces is zero. The square is one meter on a side, and the magnitude of 𝐹2 is
three times that of 𝐹1 . Find the distances 𝑎 and 𝑏 that locate the axis.

2. Two baskets of fruit hang from strings going around pulleys of different diameters, as shown in below
Figure and are in rest. What is the mass of basket A?

3. In below figure, wheel A of radius 𝑟𝐴 =10 cm is coupled by belt B to wheel C of radius 𝑟𝑐 =25 cm. The
rotational speed of wheel A is increased from rest at a constant rate of 1.6 rad/Sec2 . Find the time for
wheel C to reach a rotational speed of 100 rev/min assuming the belt does not slip. (Hint: If the belt

4. In below Figure a cylinder having a mass of 2.0 kg can rotate about its central axis through point O.
Forces are applied as shown: 𝐹𝐴 = 6𝑁 , 𝐹𝐵 = 4𝑁 , 𝐹𝑐 = 2𝑁 , and 𝐹𝐷 = 5𝑁 . Also, 𝑅1 = 5𝑐𝑚 and 𝑅2 =
12𝑐𝑚 . Find the magnitude and direction of the rotational acceleration of the cylinder. (During the
rotation, the forces maintain their same angles relative to the cylinder.)

5. Ten bags of topsoil, each weighing 175 N, are placed on a 2.43-m-long sheet of wood. They are stacked
0.50 m from one end of the sheet of wood, as shown in below Figure. Two people lift the sheet of wood,
one at each end. Ignoring the weight of the wood, how much force must each person exert?

the length of the remaining rod.
7. The length of plastic tube of the refill of a dot pen is (12.7 ± 0.1)𝑐𝑚 and the length of the metal nib

 8. In the hydraulic car lift shown in below figure, the input piston on the left has a radius of 𝑟1 = 0.0120𝑚
and a negligible weight. The output plunger on the right has a radius of 𝑟2 = 0.150𝑚. The combined
weight of the car and the plunger is 20 500 N. Since the output force has a magnitude of 𝐹2 = 20500𝑁,
it supports the car. Suppose that the bottom surfaces of the piston and plunger are at the same level, so
that ℎ = 0𝑚 in Figure . (a) What is the magnitude 𝐹1 of the input force that is needed so that 𝐹2 =
20500𝑁? (b)

9. Suppose a damaged ship just barely floats in the ocean after a hole in its hull has been sealed. It is
pulled by a tugboat toward shore and into a river, heading toward a dry dock for repair. As the boat is
pulled up the river, it sinks. Why?
 In the ocean, the ship floats due to the buoyant force from salt water, which is denser
than fresh water. As the ship is pulled up the river, the buoyant force from the fresh
water in the river is not sufficient to support the weight of the ship, and it sinks.
10. The deepest point in the ocean is in the Mariana Trench, about 11 km deep. The pressure at the ocean
floor is huge, about 1.03 × 108 𝑁/𝑚2. (a) Calculate the change in volume of 1.00 m3 of water carried
from the surface to the bottom of the Pacific. (b) The density of water at the surface is 1.03×103 kg/m3.
Find its density at the bottom. (c) Explain whether or when it is a good approximation to think of water
as incompressible.
