Attention! About face! Compute an order-of-magnitude estimate for
the moment of inertia of your body as you stand tall and turn about
a vertical axis through the top of your head and the point halfway
between your ankles. In your solution state the quantities you
measure or estimate and their values.
A uniform thin solid door has height 2.20 m, width 0.870 m, and
mass 23.0 kg. Find its moment of inertia for rotation on its hinges.
Is any piece of data unnecessary?
The density of the Earth, at any distance r from its center, is
approximately

where R is the radius of the Earth. Show that this density leads to a
moment of inertia I = 0.330MR2 about an axis through the center,
where M is the mass of the Earth.
A spool of thread consists of a cylinder of radius R1 with end caps of radius
R2 as in the end view shown in Figure. The mass of the spool, including the
thread, is m and its moment of inertia about an axis through its center is I.
The spool is placed on a rough horizontal surface so that it rolls without
slipping when a force T acting to the right is applied to the free end of the
thread. Show that the magnitude of the friction force exerted by the surface
on the spool is given by

Determine the direction of the force of friction.

A basketball player who is 2.00 m tall is standing on the floor 10.0 m
from the basket, as in Figure. If he shoots the ball at a 40.0° angle
with the horizontal, at what initial speed must he throw so that it
goes through the hoop without striking the backboard? The basket
height is 3.05 m.
A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over
the edge of a washed-out) bridge. The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly
off the truck. One melon rolls over the edge with an initial speed vi = 10.0 m/s in the
horizontal direction. A cross-section of the bank has the shape of the bottom half of a
parabola with its vertex at the edge of the road, and with the equation y2 = 16x,
where x and y are measured in meters. What are the x and y coordinates of the
melon when it splatters on the bank?
An enemy ship is on the east side of a mountain island, as shown in Fig.
The enemy ship has maneuvered to within 2 500 m of the 1 800-m-high
mountain peak and can shoot projectiles with an initial speed of 250
m/s. If the western shoreline is horizontally 300 m from the peak, what
are the distances from the western shore at which a ship can be safe
from the bombardment of the enemy ship?
