Answer the following problems.
Use bond paper and show complete and organize solution by
handwritten. Be consistent with the size of the bond paper as all the problem sets and
assessment will be compiled and t be submitted later. Take a picture/photo or scan the paper
and submit them in the LMS on or before the due date.
1. A fan blade rotates with angular velocity given by 𝜔𝑧 (𝑡) = 𝛾 − 𝛽𝑡 2 , where 𝛾 = 5.00 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 and 𝛽 =
0.800 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 3 . (a) Calculate the angular acceleration as a function of time. (b) Calculate the instantaneous angular
acceleration 𝑎𝑧 at t = 3.00 s and the average angular acceleration 𝑎𝑎𝑣−𝑧 for the time interval t=0 to t=3.00s. How
do these two quantities compare? If they are different, why are they different?
2. At t=0 the current to a dc electric motor is reversed, resulting in an angular displacement of the motor shaft given
by 𝜃(𝑡) = (250 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 )𝑡 − (20.0 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 2 )𝑡 2 − (1.50 𝑟𝑎𝑑/𝑠 3 ) 𝑡 3 . (a) At what time is the angular velocity of
the motor shaft zero? (b) Calculate the angular acceleration at the instant that the motor shaft has zero angular
velocity. (c) How many revolutions does the motor shaft turn through between the time when the current is
reversed and the instant when the angular velocity is zero? (d) How fast was the motor shaft rotating at t=0 when
the current was reversed? (e) Calculate the average angular velocity for the time period from t=0 to the time
calculated in part (a). Angular Velocity and Acceleration
3. The rotating blade of a blender turns with constant angular acceleration 1.50 rad/s2. (a) How much time does it
take to reach an angular velocity of 36.0 rad/s, starting from rest? (b) Through how many revolutions does the
blade turn in this time interval? Rotation with Constant Angular Acceleration
4. The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 2.50 kg·m2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is
required to bring it up to an angular speed of 400 rev/min in 8.00 s, starting from rest? Torque and Angular

5. A size-5 soccer ball of diameter 22.6 cm and mass 426 g rolls up a hill without slipping, reaching a maximum
height of 5.00 m above the base of the hill. We can model this ball as a thin-walled hollow sphere. (a) At what rate
was it rotating at the base of the hill? (b) How much rotational kinetic energy did it have then? Rigid-Body
Rotation About a Moving Axis
6. An engine delivers 175 hp to an aircraft propeller at 2400 rev/min. (a) How much torque does the aircraft engine
provide? (b) How much work does the engine do in one revolution of the propeller? Work and Power in

7. A 0.120-kg, 50.0-cm-long uniform bar has a small 0.055-kg mass glued to its left end and a small 0.110-kg mass
glued to the other end. The two small masses can each be treated as point masses. You want to balance this system
horizontally on a fulcrum placed just under its center of gravity. How far from the left end should the fulcrum be
placed? Center of Gravity
8. Two circular rods, one steel and the other copper, are joined end to end. Each rod is 0.750 m long and 1.50 cm in
diameter. The combination is subjected to a tensile force with magnitude 4000 N. For each rod, what are (a) the
strain and (b) the elongation? Stress, Strain, and Elastic Moduli
9. A metal rod that is 4.00 m long and 0.50 cm2 in cross sectional area is found to stretch 0.20 cm under a tension of
5000 N. What is Young’s modulus for this metal? Stress, Strain, and Elastic Moduli
