A cylinder with rotational inertia I1 = 2.6 kg · m^2 rotates clockwise about a vertical axis through its center with angular speed ω1 = 5.8 rad/s. A second cylinder with rotational inertia I2 = 1.3 kg · m2 rotates counterclockwise about the same axis with angular speed ω2 = 6.6 rad/s. If the cylinders couple so they have the same rotational axis, what is the angular speed of the combination (in rad/s)?

1.12 [2pt] Consider one infinitely long straight wire with a uniform charge density of 1 C/m. Sketch the electric field around the wire
1.12 ANSWER
1.13 [2pt] In problem 1.12, calculate the magnitude of electric field at a distance R from the wire. How is it different (if any) from the field of a point charge?
1.13 ANSWER
1.14 [2pt] Consider two infinite wires 1 m apart with a uniform charge density per unit length 1 C/m. Calculate the force per unit length between the wires. To do this, just select a tiny, nearly point-like section of a wire of length Land calculate the force due to the electric field of the other wire using the Coulomb’s law. Your answer should be proportional to L. Divide it by L and this is the force per unit length.

In music, middle C has a frequency of about 256 Hz - the precise frequency depends on the tuning scheme. How does the wavelength of a middle C note propagating through air compare to the size of a typical human body? How does the wavelength of the same note propagating through water compare to the human body? What frequency of sound in air has a wavelength nearly the size of a human head? This size is important because we have diminished ability to determine the direction to a source of this tone.

A stick is resting on a concrete step with 2727 of its total length ?L hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at ?=41.3∘θ=41.3∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure.
If the mass of each bug is 3.093.09 times the mass of the stick and the stick is 16.3 cm16.3 cm long, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration ?α of the stick at the instant shown?
