Answer #1

L = length of rod

h = height of center of mass of rod when rod is in upright position = L/2

m = mass of rod

w = angular speed of rod as rod falls down about one end

I = moment of inertia of rod = mL2/3

using conservation of energy

Rotational Kinetic energy at bottom = initial potential energy

(0.5) I w2 = mgh

(0.5) (mL2/3) (v/L)2 = mg(L/2)                        v = linear speed

(1/6) m v2 = mgL/2

v = sqrt(3gL)

Consider a long metal rod lying on the floor. One end of the rod is fixed to the wall. You add heat Q to the rod with a blow torch. During this process, due to thermal expansion, the rod increases in length from 1 m to 1.05 m. As it expands, the rod does some work, pushing a mass along the floor exerting a constant force of 1000 N on the block. The total thermal energy of the rod increases...

A sound wave begins traveling through a thin metal rod at one end with a speed that is 15 times the speed of sound in air. If an observer at the other end of the rod hears the sound twice, one from the sound traveling through the rod and one from the sound traveling through the air, with a time delay of 0.12 ?, how long is the rod? The speed of sound in air is 343 ?/?.

A 1.2-m-long massless rod is pivoted at one end and swings around in a circle on a frictionless table. A block with a hole through the center can slide in and out along the rod. Initially, a small piece of wax holds the block 20 cm from the pivot. The block is spun at 40 rpm , then the temperature of the rod is slowly increased. When the wax melts, the block slides out to the end of the rod....
