12. In Fig. 11-35, a solid brass ball of mass 0.320 g will roll
smoothly along a loop-the-loop track when released from
rest along the straight section. The circular loop has radius R
= 12.0 cm, and the ball has radius r << R. (a) What is h if the
ball is on the verge of leaving the track when it reaches the
top of the loop? If the ball is released at height h = 6.00R,
what are the (b) magnitude and (c) direction of the horizontal
force component acting on the ball at point Q?
Answer: (a) 32.4 cm cm ; (b) 2.24 × 10−2 N; (c)The direction is toward the center of the loop
22. A particle moves through an xyz coordinate system while a force acts on the particle.
When the particle has the position vector r⃗ =( 2.00 m ) i− ^ ( 3.00 m ) ^j+ ( 2.00 m ) k^ , the force is
given by ⃗F =F x i+ ^ ( 7.00 N ) ^j− ( 6.00 N ) k^ and the corresponding torque about the origin is
^ ( 2.00 N ∙ m ) ^j−( 1.00 N ∙ m) k^ . Determine F x .
τ⃗ =( 4.00 N ∙ m ) i+
Answer: –5.00 N
41. Figure 11-45 shows a rigid structure consisting of a circular hoop
of radius R and mass m, and a square made of four thin bars, each
of length R and mass m.The rigid structure rotates at a constant
speed about a vertical axis, with a period of rotation of 2.5 s.
Assuming R = 0.50 m and m = 2.0 kg, calculate (a) the structure’s
rotational inertia about the axis of rotation and (b) its angular
momentum about that axis.
Answer: (a) 1.6 kg ∙ m 2(b)4.0 kg ∙ m2 / s
53. A uniform thin rod of length 0.500 m and mass 4.00 kg can
rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its
center. The rod is at rest when a 3.00 g bullet traveling in
the rotation plane is fired into one end of the rod. As
viewed from above, the bullet’s path makes angle θ= 60.0°
with the rod (Fig. 11-50). If the bullet lodges in the rod and
the angular velocity of the rod is 10 rad/s immediately after
the collision, what is the bullet’s speed just before impact?
Answer: 1.3 ×103 m/s
