Consider the following discussion between three students.
Student 1: “The string exerts a force that is tangent to the rim of spool A. This force has no component that points toward the center of the spool, so this force does not affect the acceleration of the center of mass."
Student 2: "I disagree. The acceleration of the center of mass of the spool is affected by the string. Any of the force not used up in rotational acceleration will be given to translation acceleration. This is why the acceleration of the center of mass of spool A is less than g."
Student 3: "The net force on spool A is the gravitational force minus the tension force. By Newton's second law, the acceleration of the center of mas is the net force divided by the mass. A force will have the same effect on the motion of the center of mass regardless of whether the force causes rotational motion or not."
With which student(s), if any, do you agree? Explain your reasoning.

A particular crane at a building site is about to lift a m = 2500-kg air-conditioning unit. The crane's dimensions are shown in (Figure 2). The crane's counterweight has a mass of M = 8400 kg . Ignore the mass of the beam. Part A Where must the crane's counterweight be placed when the load is lifted from the ground? (The counterweight is usually moved automatically via sensors and motors to precisely compensate for the load.) Part B Determine the maximum load that can be lifted with this counterweight when it is placed at its full extent.arrow_forwardFor each of the 6 scenarios given, sketch the situation (drawing r1, r2, r3, F1, F2, and F3) and determine the magnitude (value) and direction (+ or -) of each torque. Remember that the x value given in the table is the position of the hanging mass, but that might be different from the r value you need to use. Don't include the mass of a bracket that would hold the hanging mass in place; assume the mass listed is the entire mass hanging at that point.arrow_forward
- An 87 kg person stands on a uniform ladder 4.0 m long, that weighs 90 N , as shown in the figure(Figure 1). The floor is rough; hence, it exerts both a normal force, f1, and a frictional force, f2, on the ladder. The wall, on the other hand, is frictionless; it exerts only a normal force, f3.

- Please see images attached for full problem Three 92.4 g masses are connected in a triangular shape by massless rigid wires as shown in the first image (which is not drawn to scale). The coordinates of each mass are given in centimeters. Mass A is located at (0,0), mass B is at (14.2,22.5), and mass C is at (16.3,15.4). Find the x- and y‑coordinates of the center of mass of the triangular object. xcm = ycm = Two more 92.4 g masses are connected by a straight piece of wire and affixed to the original configuration as shown.

- Two students are conducting an experiment in which they are trying to find a relationship between the angle of incline of a ramp and the final speed a car reaches when rolling down the ramp. In order to collect their data, the students must determine the final speed of the car at the bottom of the ramp. The students discuss how they should determine this speed. Student 1: “We need to measure the length of the ramp and the time it takes the car to roll down it. Then we can divide the total distance by the total time to find the final speed.” What is wrong with Student 1’s method for determining the final speed? This method will only determine the average speed, not the final speed. This method will determine the acceleration, not the final speed. This method does not account for the height of the ramp. This method does not take into account the angle of the ramp.arrow_forwardA thin, light string is wrapped around the rim of a 3.75-kgkg, solid, uniform disk (similar to a puck on ice without friction) that is 33.0 cmcm in diameter. A person pulls on the string with a constant force of 98.00 NN tangent to the disk, as shown in the figure below (Figure 1). The disk is not attached to anything and is free to move and turn. Part B Find the linear acceleration of its center of mass. Express your answer in meters per second squared. Part D If the disk is replaced by a hollow, thin-walled cylinder of the same mass and diameter, what will be the linear acceleration of its center of mass? Express your answer in meters per second squared.arrow_forwardA student attaches a mass on one side of the ruler with mass m, and observes the final position (see diagram 2). The student states: "This does not make any sense with torque and is breaking physics! Since we have a mass on one end, there is an applied torque which is not countered on the other side. The balance and mass should look like diagram 3." What would you say to this student? Did they break physics or is there a concept not being considered? Explain your response.
