Chapter 09, Problem 36 A 8.47−m ladder with a mass of 21.1 kg lies flat on the ground. A painter grabs the top end of the ladder and pults straight upward with a force of 254 N. At the instant the top of the ladder leaves the ground, the ladder experiences an angular acceleration of 1.54 rad/s2 about an axis passing through the bottom end of the ladder. The ladser's center of gravity lies halfway between the top and bottom ends. (a) What is the net torque acting on the ladder? (b) What is the ladder's moment of inertia? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

In a judo foot-sweep move, you sweep your opponent's left foot out from under him while pulling on his gi (uniform) toward that side. As a result, your opponent rotates around his right foot and onto the mat. The figure shows a simplified diagram of your opponent as you face him, with his left foot swept out. The rotational axis is through point O. The gravitational force F→g on him effectively acts at his center of mass, which is a horizontal distance d = 25 cm from point O. His mass is 84 kg, and his rotational inertia about point O is 65 kg⋅m2. What is the magnitude of his initial angular acceleration about point O if your pull F→a on his gi is (a) negligible and (b) horizontal with a magnitude of 300 N and applied at height h = 1.4 m? Assume free-fall acceleration to be equal to 9.81 m/s2. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

In the figure, a constant horizontal force F→app of magnitude 9.3 N is applied to a wheel of mass 10 kg and radius 0.41 m. The wheel rolls smoothly on the horizontal surface, and the acceleration of its center of mass has magnitude 0.37 m/s2. (a) What is the magnitude of the frictional force on the wheel? (b) What is the rotational inertia of the wheel about the rotation axis through its center of mass? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Tyrannosaurus rex may have known from experience not to run particularly fast because of the danger of tripping, in which case its short forearms would have been no help in cushioning the fall. Suppose a T. Rex of mass 4300 kg trips while walking, toppling over, with its center of mass falling freely a distance of 1.4 m. Then its center of mass descends an additional 0.25 m due to compression of its body and the ground. (a) What is the approximate magnitude of the average vertical force on the dinosaur during its collision with the ground (during the descent of 0.25 m)? Now assume that the dinosaur is running at a speed of 19 m/s (fast) when it trips, falls to the ground, and then slides to a stop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.58. Assume also that the average vertical force during the collision and sliding is that in (a). What, approximately, are (b) the magnitude of the average total force on the dinosaur from the ground and (c) the sliding distance? The force magnitudes of (a) and (b) strongly suggest that the collision would injure the torso of the dinosaur. The head, which would fall farther, would suffer even greater injury.
