1. A merry-go-round is being pushed by a child. The angle the merry-go-round has turned
through varies with time according to :
(t) = (3 rad/s)t + (0.05 rad/s
3
)t

a) Calculate the average angular velocity for the time intervals :
a.1) t1 = 0 to t2 = 2 sec a.2) t1 = 0 to t2 = 5 sec
b) Calculate the instantaneous angular velocity for t = 2 sec and t = 5 sec
c) Calculate the average angular acceleration for the time intervals :
c.1) t1 = 0 to t2 = 3 sec a.2) t1 = 0 to t2 = 6 sec
d) Calculate the instantaneous angular acceleration for t = 3 sec and t = 6 sec

2. A torque of 12 Nm is applied to a heavy wheel of mass 15.0 kg (I = MR
2
) which has a
moment of inertia of 270 kgm
2
.The wheel starts from rest. The torque was applied for 10
seconds.
a) What is the angular acceleration of the wheel as the torque was present?
b) What will be the angular velocity of the wheel at the end of the 10 seconds?
c) What magnitude of power is needed to make the wheel stop in 30 seconds?
d) What magnitude of force must be applied (tangentially) to the edge of the wheel in order
for it to stop in 30 seconds?

3.1. A 1500 kg satellite orbits a planet in a circular orbit of radius 6.2 10

angular momentum of the satellite in its orbit around the planet if the satellite completes one
orbit every 1.5 10
4
s?

3.2. A 60.0 kg skater begins a spin with an angular speed of 6.0 rad/s. By changing the
position of her arms, the skater decreases her moment of inertia to one-half its initial value.
What is the skater's final angular speed?

4.1. A mobile is constructed of light rods, light strings and some figurines, as shown. Assume
that the strings and rods are weightless. Determine the masses of the objects
M1 and M2.


4.2. The drawing shows the top view of a door that is 1.68 m wide. Two forces are applied to
the door as indicated. What is the magnitude of the net torque on the door with respect to
the hinge?
