PROBLEMS FROM FISHBANE JUNE 13 - JUNE 18 CHAPTER 9 45. A wheel of radius 24.6 cm whose axis is fixed starts from rest and reaches an angular velocity of 4.15 rad/s in 2.68 s due to a force of 13.4 N acting tangentially on the rim. (a) What is the rotational inertia of the wheel? (b) What is the change in the angular momentum during the 2.68 s? (c) How many revolutions does the wheel make? (d) How much rotational kinetic energy does the wheel have after 2.68 s? CHAPTER 10 13. A square, 20 cm on the side, is made of very light sticks. Four identical masses of m = 0.1 kg form the corners of the square. The square rotates with an angular velocity of 8 rad/s about an axis perpendicular to its plane through the center of the square. (a) Calculate the rotational inertia of the system about the rotation axis and use it to find the angular momentum about this axis. (b) Use the general definition of angular momentum to calculate the angular momentum of each mass with respect to the center of the square, and add these up. Compare the results of (a) and (b).
