A mass of 1.9 kg is located at the end of a very light and rigid rod 44 cm in length. The rod is rotating about an axis at its opposite end with a rotational velocity of 5 rad/s.

(a) What is the rotational inertia of the system?


(b) What is the angular momentum of the system?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Mass of the object = M = 1.9 kg

Length of the rod = L = 44 cm = 0.44 m

The object is at one end of the rod and the axis is at the other end of the rod therefore the object is at a distance of 0.44 m from the axis.

Rotational inertia fo the system = I

I = 0.3678 kg.m2

Rotational velocity of the object = = 5 rad/s

Angular momentum of the system = L

L = I

L = (0.3678)(5)

L = 1.84 kg.m2/s

a) Rotational inertia of the system = 0.3678 kg.m2

b) Angular momentum of the system = 1.84 kg.m2/s

A disk (mass of 3 kg, radius 30 cm) is rotating with an angular velocity w1= 5 rad/s. A second disk (mass 2kg, radius 15cm), which is rotating at w= -7 rad/s is dropped on top of the first disk. The disks are dropped so that they share a rotational axis, and they stick together. The moment of inertia of a disk is 1/2mr^2. What is the final angular speed of the two disks?
