A ceiling fan consists of a small cylindrical disk with 5 thin rods coming from the center. The disk has mass m_d = 3.3 kg and radius R = 0.22 m. The rods each have mass m_r = 1.2 kg and length L = 0.76 m.

What is the moment of inertia of each rod about the axis of rotation?

What is the moment of inertia of the disk about the axis of rotation?

What is the moment of inertia of the whole ceiling fan?

When the fan is turned on, it takes t = 3.4 s and a total of 15 revolutions to accelerate up to its full speed.

What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration?

What is the final angular speed of the fan?

What is the final rotational energy of the fan?

Now the fan is turned to a lower setting where it ends with half of its rotational energy as before. The time it takes to slow to this new speed is also t = 3.4 s.

What is the final angular speed of the fan?

What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration while the fan slows down?

A grandfather clock has a pendulum that consists of a thin brass disk of radius 36 cm and mass 1.8 kg that is attached to a long, thin rod of negligible mass. The pendulum swings freely about an axis perpendicular to the rod and through the end of the rod opposite the disk. The pendulum should be designed so that its period is 2 s for small oscillations when the gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s2. (a) What should the length...

Consider a 2.5cm diameter thin walled horizontal cylindrical pipe that carries chilled water at about 5°C. The pipe is very long and is indoors in a climate controlled area with essentially still air. Design an insulation system that will reduce heat gain per unit length of pipe by at least 75% as compared to the heat gain to the bare pipe. Completely specify the insulation system (materials, dimensions, etc.) you design.

A pendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod with a small sphere attached to the end opposite the pivot. This arrangement is a good approximation to a simple pendulum (period = 5.87 s), because the mass of the sphere (lead) is much greater than the mass of the rod (aluminum). When the sphere is removed, the pendulum is no longer a simple pendulum, but is then a physical pendulum. What is the period of the physical pendulum?

An ideal spring dangles from the ceiling at its relaxed length of 5 cm. A 3-kg mass is carefully hung from the end of the spring while the spring is relaxed, and then the mass is released from rest at time t = 0, which begins to stretch the spring. The spring stretches to its maximum length at time t = 130 ms when the mass reaches its lowest point. Then the mass returns upward, shortening the spring. The oscillation...
