# Chapter 11

11.1

a. $μs≥tanθ1+(mr2/ICM)μs≥tanθ1+(mr2/ICM)$; inserting the angle and noting that for a hollow cylinder $ICM=mr2,ICM=mr2,$ we have $μs≥tan60°1+(mr2/mr2)=12tan60°=0.87;μs≥tan60°1+(mr2/mr2)=12tan60°=0.87;$ we are given a value of 0.6 for the coefficient of static friction, which is less than 0.87, so the condition isn’t satisfied and the hollow cylinder will slip; b. The solid cylinder obeys the condition $μs≥13tanθ=13tan60°=0.58.μs≥13tanθ=13tan60°=0.58.$ The value of 0.6 for $μSμS$ satisfies this condition, so the solid cylinder will not slip.

11.2

From the figure, we see that the cross product of the radius vector with the momentum vector gives a vector directed out of the page. Inserting the radius and momentum into the expression for the angular momentum, we have
$l→=r→×p→=(0.4mi^)×(1.67×10−27kg(4.0×106m/s)j^)=2.7×10−21kg·m2/sk^l→=r→×p→=(0.4mi^)×(1.67×10−27kg(4.0×106m/s)j^)=2.7×10−21kg·m2/sk^$

11.3

$Isphere=25mr2,Icylinder=12mr2Isphere=25mr2,Icylinder=12mr2$; Taking the ratio of the angular momenta, we have:
$LcylinderLsphere=Icylinderω0Isphereω0=12mr225mr2=54LcylinderLsphere=Icylinderω0Isphereω0=12mr225mr2=54$. Thus, the cylinder has $25%25%$ more angular momentum. This is because the cylinder has more mass distributed farther from the axis of rotation.

11.4

Using conservation of angular momentum, we have
$I(4.0rev/min)=1.25Iωf,ωf=1.01.25(4.0rev/min)=3.2rev/minI(4.0rev/min)=1.25Iωf,ωf=1.01.25(4.0rev/min)=3.2rev/min$

11.5

The Moon’s gravity is 1/6 that of Earth’s. By examining Equation 11.12, we see that the top’s precession frequency is linearly proportional to the acceleration of gravity. All other quantities, mass, moment of inertia, and spin rate are the same on the Moon. Thus, the precession frequency on the Moon is
$ωP(Moon)=16ωP(Earth)=16(5.0rad/s)=0.83rad/s.ωP(Moon)=16ωP(Earth)=16(5.0rad/s)=0.83rad/s.$

### Conceptual Questions

1 .

No, the static friction force is zero.

3 .

The wheel is more likely to slip on a steep incline since the coefficient of static friction must increase with the angle to keep rolling motion without slipping.

5 .

The cylinder reaches a greater height. By Equation 11.4, its acceleration in the direction down the incline would be less.

7 .

All points on the straight line will give zero angular momentum, because a vector crossed into a parallel vector is zero.

9 .

The particle must be moving on a straight line that passes through the chosen origin.

11 .

Without the small propeller, the body of the helicopter would rotate in the opposite sense to the large propeller in order to conserve angular momentum. The small propeller exerts a thrust at a distance R from the center of mass of the aircraft to prevent this from happening.

13 .

The angular velocity increases because the moment of inertia is decreasing.

15 .

More mass is concentrated near the rotational axis, which decreases the moment of inertia causing the star to increase its angular velocity.

17 .

A torque is needed in the direction perpendicular to the angular momentum vector in order to change its direction. These forces on the space vehicle are external to the container in which the gyroscope is mounted and do not impart torques to the gyroscope’s rotating disk.

### Problems

19 .

$v CM = R ω ⇒ ω = 66.7 rad/s v CM = R ω ⇒ ω = 66.7 rad/s$

21 .

$α = 3.3 rad / s 2 α = 3.3 rad / s 2$

23 .

$I CM = 2 5 m r 2 , a CM = 3.5 m / s 2 ; x = 15.75 m I CM = 2 5 m r 2 , a CM = 3.5 m / s 2 ; x = 15.75 m$

25 .

positive is down the incline plane;
$aCM=mgsinθm+(ICM/r2)⇒ICM=r2[mgsin30aCM−m]aCM=mgsinθm+(ICM/r2)⇒ICM=r2[mgsin30aCM−m]$,
$x−x0=v0t−12aCMt2⇒aCM=2.96m/s2,x−x0=v0t−12aCMt2⇒aCM=2.96m/s2,$
$ICM=0.66mr2ICM=0.66mr2$

27 .

$α=67.9rad/s2α=67.9rad/s2$,
$(aCM)x=1.5m/s2(aCM)x=1.5m/s2$

29 .

$W = −1080.0 J W = −1080.0 J$

31 .

Mechanical energy at the bottom equals mechanical energy at the top;
$12mv02+12(12mr2)(v0r)2=mgh⇒h=1g(12+14)v0212mv02+12(12mr2)(v0r)2=mgh⇒h=1g(12+14)v02$,
$h=7.7m,h=7.7m,$ so the distance up the incline is $22.5m22.5m$.

33 .

Use energy conservation
$12mv02+12ICylω02=mghCyl12mv02+12ICylω02=mghCyl$,
$12mv02+12ISphω02=mghSph12mv02+12ISphω02=mghSph$.
Subtracting the two equations, eliminating the initial translational energy, we have
$12ICylω02−12ISphω02=mg(hCyl−hSph)12ICylω02−12ISphω02=mg(hCyl−hSph)$,
$12mr2(v0r)2−1223mr2(v0r)2=mg(hCyl−hSph)12mr2(v0r)2−1223mr2(v0r)2=mg(hCyl−hSph)$,
$12v02−1223v02=g(hCyl−hSph)12v02−1223v02=g(hCyl−hSph)$,
$hCyl−hSph=1g(12−13)v02=19.8m/s2(16)(5.0m/s)2=0.43mhCyl−hSph=1g(12−13)v02=19.8m/s2(16)(5.0m/s)2=0.43m$.
Thus, the hollow sphere, with the smaller moment of inertia, rolls up to a lower height of $1.0−0.43=0.57m.1.0−0.43=0.57m.$

35 .

The magnitude of the cross product of the radius to the bird and its momentum vector yields $rpsinθrpsinθ$, which gives $rsinθrsinθ$ as the altitude of the bird h. The direction of the angular momentum is perpendicular to the radius and momentum vectors, which we choose arbitrarily as $k^k^$, which is in the plane of the ground:

In the conservation of angular momentum equation, the rotation rate appears on both sides so we keep the (rev/min) notation as the angular velocity can be multiplied by a constant to get (rev/min):

Assume the roll accelerates forward with respect to the ground with an acceleration $a′a′$. Then it accelerates backwards relative to the truck with an acceleration $(a−a′)(a−a′)$.

Also, $Rα=a−a′I=12mR2∑ Fx=fs=ma′Rα=a−a′I=12mR2∑ Fx=fs=ma′$,
$∑ τ=fsR=Iα=Ia−a′Rfs=IR2(a−a′)=12m(a−a′)∑ τ=fsR=Iα=Ia−a′Rfs=IR2(a−a′)=12m(a−a′)$,
Solving for $a′a′$: $fs=12m(a−a′)fs=12m(a−a′)$; $a′=a3a′=a3$,
$x−x0=v0t+12at2;d=13at2;t=3da;x−x0=v0t+12at2;d=13at2;t=3da;$
therefore, $s=1.5ds=1.5d$

a. The tension in the string provides the centripetal force such that $Tsinθ=mr⊥ω2Tsinθ=mr⊥ω2$. The component of the tension that is vertical opposes the gravitational force such that $Tcosθ=mgTcosθ=mg$. This gives $T=5.7NT=5.7N$. We solve for $r⊥=0.16mr⊥=0.16m$. This gives the length of the string as $r=0.32mr=0.32m$.
At $ω=10.0rad/sω=10.0rad/s$, there is a new angle, tension, and perpendicular radius to the rod. Dividing the two equations involving the tension to eliminate it, we have $sinθcosθ=(0.32msinθ)ω2g⇒1cosθ=0.32mω2gsinθcosθ=(0.32msinθ)ω2g⇒1cosθ=0.32mω2g$;
$cosθ=0.31⇒θ=72.2°cosθ=0.31⇒θ=72.2°$; b. $linitial=0.08kg·m2/slinitial=0.08kg·m2/s$,
$lfinal=0.46kg·m2/slfinal=0.46kg·m2/s$; c. No, the cosine of the angle is inversely proportional to the square of the angular velocity, therefore in order for $θ→90°,ω→∞θ→90°,ω→∞$. The rod would have to spin infinitely fast.
