A person is seated in a swivel chair. The moment of inertia around the swivel point will be about 3.0 kg m2for the person and chair combined. If their "friend" starts to spin them, changing their rate of rotation from 1.5 rad/s to 2.0 rad/s in 2.5 s, the net torque being applied is:
a. 0.60nm
b. 1.1nm
c. 2.4nm
d. 3.8nm
e. none of these

A person is seated in a swivel chair. The moment of inertia around the swivel point will be about 3.0 kg m2for the person and chair combined. If their "friend" starts to spin them, producing an angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s2 for 5.0 s, the net torque being applied is:
a. 0.75nm

b. 1.3nm
c. 2.4nm
d. 12nm
e. none of these.

A person is seated in a swivel chair. The moment of inertia around the swivel point will be about 3.0 kg m2for the person and chair combined. When spinning at 2.0 rad/s, they will be brought to rest by friction in the bearings which applies a net torque whose magnitude is a constant 1.3 n m. How long will it take for them to stop?

  1. 0.51 s

  2. 4.6s

  3. 5.0s

  4. 8.7s

  5. none of these.

String is wrapped around an object of mass M = 0.3 kg and moment of inertia I = 0.01 kg·m2. You pull the string with your hand straight up with some constant force F such that the center of the object does not move up or down, but the object spins faster and faster (see the figure). This is like a yo-yo; nothing but the vertical string touches the object. When your hand is a height y0 = 0.26 m...

moment of inertia of a rod
Starting with the formula for the moment of inertia of a rod rotated around an axis through one end perpendicular to its length (I=M ℓ² / 3), prove that the moment of inertia of a rod rotated about an axis through its center perpendicular to its length is I=M ℓ² / 12.
