Mounted on a low-mass rod of length 0.20 m are four balls (see figure below)

Mounted on a low-mass rod of length 0.20 m are four balls (see figure below). Two balls (shown in red on the diagram), each of mass 0.84 kg, are mounted at opposite ends of the rod. Two other balls, each of mass 0.31 kg (shown in blue on the diagram), are each mounted a distance 0.05 m from the center of the rod. The rod rotates on an axle through the center of the rod (indicated by the "X" in the diagram), perpendicular to the rod, and it takes 0.9 s to make one full rotation.

(a) What is the moment of inertia of the device about its center?

(b) What is the angular speed of the rotating device?

The thin uniform rod in the figure has length 5.0 m and can pivot about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. It is released from rest at angle θ = 50° above the horizontal. Use the principle of conservation of energy to determine the angular speed of the rod as it passes through the horizontal position. Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.83 m/s2.

12.64 A dumbbell has a mass m on either end of a rod of length 2a. The center of the dumbbell is a distance r from the center of the Earth, and the dumbbell is aligned radially. If r≫a, the difference in the gravitational force exerted on the two masses by the Earth is approximately 4GmMEa/r3. (Note: The difference in force causes a tension in the rod connecting the masses. We refer to this as a tidal force.) Suppose the...
