A spherical rock (R= 19 cm, p=3350 kg/m^3) is attached to the end of a copper wire (diameter 3 mm, effective length of 1.21 m) and then revolved in a circular path in a vertical plane with a period of 0.97 s. Determine the maximum and the minimum length of the copper wire. (You may assume the path remains circular and the motion is uniform).

A long, clear, flexible tube is bent into a U shape (open at both ends), and we pour water into it (density 1000 kg/m3) until the water reaches the same level on both vertical sides. Now we pour a 7 cm tall column of mercury into the left side (density 13,600 kg/m3), which does not mix with the water.
(a) When the fluids reach equilibrium, find the difference in elevation between the top of the mercury (on the left) and the top of the water (on the right). Which end is higher?
(b) Find the difference in elevations if the liquids are
reversed, i.e., if the tube is first filled with mercury, then 7 cm
of water is poured in at the left end. Which end is higher in this
case?

A ring (4 kg, r = 2 m) rotates in a CW direction with initial angular velocity 20 s-1. A disk (8 kg, r = 2 m) rotates in a CCW direction with initial angular velocity 50 s-1. The ring and disk "collide" and eventually rotate together. Assume that positive angular momentum and angular velocity values correspond to rotation in the CCW direction.
What is the initial angular momentum Li of the ring+disk system?
What is the final angular velocity ωf of the ring+disk system?

I've been debating with a classmate about whether weight cause a torque on a sphere of uniform density on a friction-less incline. My perspective is that since the force of gravity acts from the center of mass, if we're considering a sphere then weight will be unable to produce a torque since it will act at the pivot point (the center of the sphere). My classmate contends that the pivot point is actually at the point of contact between the sphere and the surface. So, if this is true the parallel component of the weight would act on a lever arm extending from the point of contact to the center of mass, and therefore cause torque. Can you settle this for me?

Hollywood often portrays bows as extremely lethal. In reality, however, they were being replaced by firearms on the battlefields of Europe already towards the end of the 100 years’ war (1337-1453). While all early projectile weapons were very inaccurate (sights are a recent invention), the most striking difference between the bow and the musket lies in the kinetic energy carried by the projectile. A well trained archer using the famous British Longbow could fire an arrow of about 100 grams (0.1 kg) with an initial energy of approximately 100 J.
QUESTION 1: Compare this to a black-powder musket and a modern rifle. Flintlock muskets typically fired a 30 gram projectile with an initial velocity of 200-300 m/s, whereas a modern US M4 carbine fires a 4 gram bullet at 910 m/s.
QUESTION 2: What would the recoil momentum be for all three weapons?
QUESTION 3: If we assume that the longbow stores energy like a spring, what would the spring constant k be? For simplicity, assume that the displacement is equal to the length of the arrow, which was about 30 inches (0.76 m).
QUESTION 4: In movies and works of fiction skilled archers are sometimes portrayed releasing multiple arrows at the same time. A real archer would, however, never do this. Why?

A train car with mass m1 = 576 kg is moving to the right with a
speed of v1 = 7 m/s and collides with a second train car. The two
cars latch together during the collision and then move off to the
right at vf = 4.4 m/s.
A)What is the initial momentum of the first train car?
B)What is the mass of the second train car?
C)What is the change in kinetic energy of the two train system
during the collision?
D)Now the same two cars are involved in a second collision. The
first car is again moving to the right with a speed of
v1 = 7 m/s and collides with the second train car that
is now moving to the left with a velocity v2 = -5.1 m/s
before the collision. The two cars latch together at impact.
What is the final velocity of the two-car system? (A positive
velocity means the two train cars move to the right – a negative
velocity means the two train cars move to the left.)
