A uniform steel rod has mass 0.300 kg and length 40.0 cmand is horizontal. A uniform sphere with radius 8.00 cm and mass 0.700 kg is welded to one end of the bar, and a uniform sphere with radius 6.00 cm and mass 0.580 kg is welded to the other end of the bar. The centers of the rod and of each sphere all lie along a horizontal line.

Part A

How far is the center of gravity of the combined object from the center of the rod?

Express your answer with the appropriate units. Enter negative value if the center of gravity is toward the 0.700 kg sphere and positive value if the center of gravity is toward the 0.580 kg sphere.

A uniform rod of mass 2.20 kg and length 2.00 m is capable of rotating about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its length. A mass m1 = 4.90 kg is attached to one end and a second mass m2 = 2.60 kg is attached to the other end of the rod. Treat the two masses as point particles. At the origina of an xy-coordinate plane a rod of length labeled l rotates around it's midpoint. Attached to...

A uniform thin rod of length 0.4 m and mass 0.5 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis on the left end of the rod. The rod is at rest when a 10.0-g bullet traveling in the horizontal plane of the rod is fired into the right end of the rod at an angle 90o with the rod. The bullet lodges in the rod and the angular velocity of the rod is 10 rad/s immediately after...

A thin rod (mass 8.28 kg, length 8.04 m) is sitting on a horizontal, frictionless table. There is a 0.626 kg frog sitting on the very end of the rod; you can treat the frog as a point particle. Suddenly the frog jumps off at speed 4.75 m/s, moving horizontally and perpendicular to the rod. Find ω, the angular speed of the rod after the frog jumps off, in rad/s.

A horizontal insulating rod, of length L, has a uniform charge density of theta on its right half and of negative theta on its left half. Find the net force on a test charge of magnitude q placed to the right of the rod, on the axis of the rod, a distance x from the center of the rod (where x > L=2).

An 80 kg construction worker sits down on a horizontal uniform steel beam of mass 1450 kg and length 6.0 m to eat lunch. The left end of the beam is fixed to a wall by a frictionless pivot. The right end of the beam is held up by a steel cable that makes an angle 35o with the beam and is attached to the wall somewhere above the pivot. The construction worker sits 2.0m from the steel cable’s attachment...

A steel bar (mass 762 kg, length 88.3 m) is supported by a horizontal wire attached to a wall. The wire is tied to the beam distance 28.96 m from the top end. The center of mass of the bar is 23.5 m from the bottom. The bar is held at the bottom by a hinge, and makes an angle θ = 46.5o with the horizontal. Find Fhinge, the magnitude of the force exerted by the hinge on the bar,...

A mass, m=1.4 kg of negligible size, is attached at the end of a uniform rod of length L= 0.99 mm which has mass M= 1.9 kg . What is the moment of inertia of this arrangement if it is to rotate at an axis located at a distance 0.39*L from the end of the rod opposite to the mass, m? (At approximately the point marked with an 'X'.) Calculate the moment of inertia of the rod-mass system given that...
