Two hangers are attached by a string to a vertically mounted pulley system as shown. One disk is bigger than the other, and the disks are attached to each other such that they rotate together. The axle has negligible friction. The mass of the large disk is 1200 grams and the radius is 11 cm. The mass of the small disk is 400 grams and the radius is 4 cm. The high hanger has a mass of 200 grams and starts 80 cm above the ground. The lower mass starts on the ground and has a mass of 100 grams. The hangers are released from rest. What is the velocity of the 200 gram hanger when it hits the floor?

A bucket of mass equals 18.7 kg(mb) is knocked off the side of a wall. The bucket falls 18.6 m to the bottom of the well. Attached to the bucket is a light rope that wraps around a cylinder of radius equals 48.7 cm and mass(mc) equals 3.26 kg. How fast is the bucket falling just before it hits the ground
A disk of mass m = 0.140 kg is attached to a lightweight, taut string which keeps it in circular motion, as shown in the figure below. The disk slides on a horizontal table with negligible friction at speed v = 80.0 cm/s, and the radius of its circular path is r. = 36.0 cm. The string passes a small hole in the table and is initially held in place. The string is then slowly pulled downward a distance of 12.0 cm. How much work (in J) is done on the disk? O Need Help?

One end of a rope is attached to a bucket of water, and the other end is wrapped many times around a circular drum of radius 12 cm. How many revolutions of the drum are required to lift the bucket a vertical distance of 5 m?
Consider two boxes initially at rest as shown, each of mass 5.0 kg, that are connected by a massless string over a pulley of radius 5.0 cm and rotational inertia equal to 4.0 x 10-3 kg·m². The coefficient of kinetic friction between the inclined surface and the box is 0.15. Find the speed of the boxes just after they have moved 1.0 m. Justify approach taken as you begin your solution. 30° m m
An object with mass M slides across a frictionless half-circular slide of radius R. The object is initially held stationary at the top of the slide. The initial height is, hi = R. The mass is released and slides down, around the bottom, and back up the other side. The radius of the slide is R = 5.79 m and the mass of the object is M = 37 kg. When the object is moving up the slide, at an angle θ = 18o from the vertical, what is the normal force on the object?
A student investigates how far a marble can travel up the incline after rolling down the ramp. Marble Incline Ramp 10 cm 9 cm 7 cm 4 cm Without friction, what is the maximum height the marble will be able to reach on the incline? O 10 cm O 7 cm 09 cm 4 cm M
A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth’s surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radius RE of the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth’s surface. Your expression should involve h, RE, and mE (the earth’s mass).
A 26 kg block hangs from a 350 g rotating solid disk. The radius of the disk is 12 cm. What is the speed of the block after it has dropped 55 cm starting from rest? If a disk with radius 5.0 cm is used instead, how does your answer change?
A skateboarder starts with a speed of 14 m/s and rolls up a frictionless incline at an angle 8 = 30° until they come to a stop. The skateboarder has a mass of 80-kg. What is the distance along the incline they travel?
A string under a tension of 59.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a hortzontal circle of radius 2.45 m at a speed of 20.1 m/s on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure below. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string on the table is 1.00 m long and the speed of the rock is 50.5 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in newtons, of the string? Need Help?
A package of mass 5 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 3.0 x 1040 kg and radius 6.3 × 105 m. We want to launch the package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 237 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 1.8 x 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring? |compression| (a positive number) = %3D Additional Materials leBook
A semi-cylindrical groove of radius r = 20 cm is made on a horizontal floor. An ant wants to cross the groove. A boy decides to help the ant making a bridge consisting of straight wire segments. But all the wires available are of length l = 38 cm, so the boy rigidly connects two wires at right angle and places the bridge in the groove as shown in the figure. If the ant can crawl up a wire segment at speed v = 0.5 cm/s and down a wire segment at speed 2v, in what minimum time can the ant cross the groove with the help of this bridge?
