Rotational Motion
Exercise1 Pulley and bucket

A 15.0-N force (represented by FT) is applied to a cord wrapped around
a pulley of mass M = 4kg and radius R0 =33 cm. The pulley accelerates
uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 30 rad/s in 3.00 s.
a) If there is a frictional torque τfr =1.10 mN at the axle, determine

the moment of inertia of the pulley. The pulley rotates about its
center.
Consider again the pulley with the same friction. But this time, instead
of a constant 15.0-N force being exerted on the cord, we now have a
bucket of weight 15 N (m = 1.53 Kg) hanging from the cord.
We assume the cord has negligible mass and does not stretch or slip on
the pulley.
b) Calculate the angular acceleration of the pulley and the linear

acceleration of the bucket
c) Determine the angular velocity of the pulley and the linear
velocity of the bucket at t= 3s if the pulley (and bucket) start
from rest at t= 0s
Exercise 2 Sphere rolling down an incline

1. What will be the speed of a solid sphere of mass M and radius r0 when it reaches the
bottom of an incline if it starts from rest at a vertical height H and rolls without
slipping? (Assume no slipping occurs because of static friction, which does no work.)
2. Analyze the rolling sphere, in terms of forces and torques. In particular, find the
the magnitude of the friction force, 𝐹𝑓𝑟
Exercise 3 What if a rolling ball slips?
A bowling ball of mass M and radius 𝑟0 is thrown along a level

surface so that initially (t=0) it slides with a linear speed 𝑣0 but
does not rotate. As it slides, it begins to spin, and eventually rolls
without slipping.
How long does it take to begin rolling without slipping?
Exercise 4
A ball of mass M and radius 𝑟1 on the end of a thin massless rod is rotated in a horizontal circle
of radius 𝑅0 about an axis of rotation AB.
(a) Considering the mass of the ball to be concentrated at its center of mass, calculate its moment
of inertia about AB.
(b) Using the parallel-axis theorem and considering the finite
radius of the ball, calculate the moment of inertia of the ball
about AB.
Exercise 5
A 4.00-kg mass and a 3.00-kg mass are attached to opposite ends of a thin 42.0-cm-long
horizontal rod. The system is rotating at angular speed about a vertical axle at the center of the
rod. Determine
(a) the kinetic energy K of the system,
(b) the net force on each mass.
(c) Repeat parts (a) and (b) assuming that the axle passes through the CM of the system.
Angular Momentum
Exercise 6
A simple clutch consists of two cylindrical plates that can be pressed together
to connect two sections of an axle, as needed, in a piece of machinery. The two
plates have masses 𝑚𝐴 = 6𝑘𝑔 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚𝐵 = 9𝑘𝑔 with equal radii 𝑅0 = 0.6𝑚.
They are initially separated. Plate 𝑀𝐴 is accelerated from rest to an angular
velocity 𝜔1 = 7.2 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 in time ∆𝑡 = 2 𝑠 .
Calculate
(a) the angular momentum of 𝑚𝐴
(b) the torque required to have accelerated 𝑚𝐴 from rest to 𝜔1
(c) Next, plate 𝑀𝐵 initially at rest but free to rotate without friction, is placed in
firm contact with freely rotating plate 𝑀𝐴 and the two plates both rotate at a
constant angular velocity 𝜔2 which is considerably less than 𝜔1 .
Why does this happen, and what is 𝜔2 ?
Exercise 7 Atwood machine

An Atwood machine consists of two masses, and which are connected
by an inelastic cord of negligible mass that passes over a pulley.
If the pulley has radius R0 and moment of inertia I about its axle,
determine the acceleration of the mass mA and mB and compare to the
situation where the moment of inertia of the pulley is ignored.
Exercise 8 Bullet strikes cylinder edge

A bullet of mass m moving with velocity v strikes and becomes embedded at the edge of a
cylinder of mass M and radius 𝑅0 . The cylinder, initially at rest, begins to rotate about its
symmetry axis, which remains fixed in position.
- Assuming no frictional torque, what is the angular velocity of the cylinder after this
collision?
- Is kinetic energy conserved?
