High speed cameras are used to photograph events which take place too quickly to be seen by the human eye. One such high speed camera is composed of a rotating film drum, a rotating shutter and some miscellaneous optics. The film is fastened along the outside of the drum (along its entire...
Unlike the older vinal records which rotated at a constant ω of 33.3 rotations per minute (rpm), compact disks vary their rotation speed during the playing period. A certain CD has a diameter of 12cm and a playing time of 77 minutes. When the music starts, the CD is rotating at 480 rpm. At the...
Homework Statement
During a serve, a tennis racket of mass 1.4 kg is given an angular acceleration of 163 rad/sec2. At the top of the serve, the racket has an angular speed of 16 rad/sec.
If the distance between the top of the racket and the shoulder is 1.5 m, what is the total acceleration of...

1. Homework Statement
Blocks of mass 5, 10, and 25 kg are lined up from left to right in that order on a frictionless surface so each block is touching the next one. A rightward-pointing force of magnitude 14 N is applied to the left-most block.
a) What is the magnitude of the force that...
Homework Statement
A man holds a 196 N ball in his hand with the forearm horizontal as shown on the drawing to the left. He can support the ball in this position because of force, Fb from his bicep flexor muscule which is applied perpendicular to the forearm. This force applies a torque...
