You are given a thin rod of length 1.0 m and mass 2.0 kg, a small lead weight of 0.50 kg, and a not-so-small lead weight of 1.0 kg. The rod has three holes, one in each end and one through the middle, which may either hold a pivot point or one of the small lead weights.

A door on hinges is a rotational system. When you push or pull on the door handle, the angular momentum of the system changes. If a weight is hung on the door handle, then pushing on the door with the same force will cause a different increase in angular momentum. If you push or pull near the hinges with the same force, the resulting angular momentum of the system will also be different.

29.

Since the globe is stationary to start with,

τ= ΔL Δt τ= ΔL Δt

τΔt=ΔL τΔt=ΔL

By substituting,

120 N•m • 1.2 s = 144 N•m•s.

The angular momentum of the globe after 1.2 s is 144 N•m•s.
