A marble of radius r and mass m, released from rest, rolls without slipping along the loop-de-loop track shown at the right. a. In terms of the radius of the loop R, at what minimum height must the marble be released if it is to complete the circular path at the top of the loop? [hmin = 2.7R] If the marble is released from h = 4R, find b. the horizontal and vertical components of the net force on the marble at point Q. [F h = 30 mg, Fv = mg] 7 c. The force exerted on the marble by the track at the top of the loop. [Ntop = 13 mg ] 7 11. In the situation shown at the right a solid sphere rotates without friction about an axis passing through its center of mass. A light string is wrapped around the equator of the sphere, passes over a pulley (a disk), and is attached to a block of mass M. If the block is released from rest, what is its speed after falling a distance h? [ v = gh / 2 ] 12. The circular turntable at the right is rotating at constant angular speed about a vertical axis. No friction or driving torque is acting on the turntable. A circular pan rests on the turntable and rotates with it. The bottom of the pan is covered with a layer of ice of uniform thickness which also rotates with the pan. The ice melts but none of the water escapes from the pan. When the ice melts, does increase, decrease, or remain the same? Why? 13. A bicycle wheel of mass M (assumed to be concentrated around its rim) and radius R is mounted horizontally and can rotate without friction on an axle mounted vertically. A dart of mass m is thrown with r velocity v as shown and sticks in the tire. If the wheel is initially at rest, show that a. its angular speed after the dart strikes is given by = mv sin /(RM + Rm). b. the ratio of the final kinetic energy to the initial kinetic energy of the system is given by K/Ko = (m sin2 )/(M + m).

They have equal and opposite velocities of 1.5 m/s. One skater carries a light pole, 3.0 meters long, and the second skater grabs the end of it as he passes as shown at the right. Assume frictionless ice. a. The net external torque on the two skater-pole system before, during, and after the pole is grabbed is zero. Why? b. Describe qualitatively the motion of the skaters after they are connected by the pole. c. What is the total angular momentum the system relative to the center of the pole r before the pole is grabbed by the second skater? [ L = 225 kg.m2/s, O2pg] d. By pulling on the pole, the skaters reduce their separation to 1.5 meters. What is their new angular speed about the center of the pole? [ = 4 rad/s] e. What is the torque on the two skater-pole system due to the skaters pulling themselves toward one another? [zero] f. Determine the change in the kinetic energy of the system as a result of reducing their separation. [K = a gain of 337.5 J] g. What is the origin of this increase in K? 15. A thin hoop of mass M and radius R is held at rest above a disk of 3 mass M/3 and radius 2 R . The disk is rotating without friction about a vertical axis with a constant angular speed, o , when the hoop is dropped onto it. Since the surfaces of the hoop and disk are rough, the two eventually reach a common angular speed, .

The system rotates in a counterclockwise direction about a vertical axis through its center of mass at point P. The disks are on a rough horizontal surface; the coefficient of kinetic friction between r the disks and the surface is . At time t = 0, the rod has an initial angular velocity, o , about P. The system is gradually brought to rest by friction. Taking up to be positive, show that r a. the net torque about the axis through P is given by net = -4mg l .
