When the string is pulled with a force $p$ tangent to the rim, it gives the cylinder an angular acceleration $\alpha$, if the cylinder had fourfold the radius but everything else was the same the angular acceleration would be?

Two points are located on a rigid wheel that is rotating with an increasing angular velocity about a fixed axis. The axis is perpendicular to the wheel at its center. Point 1 is located on the rim, and point 2 is halfway between the rim and the axis. At any given instant, which point (if either) has the greater tangential acceleration? Provide a reason for your answer.

The angular position of a point on the rim of a rotating wheel is given by $\theta = 4.0t - 3.0t^2 + t^3$, where $\theta$ is in radians and t is in seconds. What are the angular velocities at $t = 4.0 \text{~s}$.

The angular position of a point on the rim of a rotating wheel is given by $\theta = 4.0t - 3.0t^2 + t^3$, where $\theta$ is in radians and t is in seconds. What is the instantaneous angular acceleration at the end of this time interval?

The water side of the wall of a $100$-$\mathrm{m}$-long dam is a quarter circle with a radius of $10 \mathrm{~m}$. Find the hydrostatic force on the dam and its line of action when the dam is filled to the rim.

A $60.0-\mathrm{kg}$ woman stands at the rim of a horizontal turntable having a moment of inertia of $500 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2$ and a radius of $2.00 \mathrm{~m}$. The turntable is initially at rest and is free to rotate about a frictionless, vertical axle through its center. The woman then starts walking around the rim clockwise (as viewed from above the system) at a constant speed of $1.50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ relative to the Earth. (a) In what direction and with what angular speed does the turntable rotate?

Nineteen items on the rim of a circle of radius 1 are to be chosen. Show that, for any choice of these points, there will be an arc of (arc) length 1 that contains at least 4 of them.

A carousel with a 50 -foot diameter makes 4 revolutions per minute. (a) Find the angular speed of the carousel in radians per minute. (b) Find the linear speed of the platform rim of the carousel.

Recreation Suppose that the ferris wheel of the Exercise earlier has a diameter of $220 \mathrm{ft}$. Determine the linear velocity of a car on the rim of the wheel.

A wheel of radius 1.5 m rotates at a uniform speed. If a point on the rim of the wheel has a centripetal acceleration of $1.2\ m/s^2,$ what is the point's tangential speed?

A point on the rim of a $0.75$-m-diameter grinding wheel changes speed uniformly from $12$ m/s to $25$ m/s in $6.2$ s. What is the angular acceleration of the grinding wheel during this interval?

Linear vs. Angular Speed A wheel of radius 30 centimeters revolves at a rate of 10 revolutions per second. A dot is painted at a point $P$ on the rim of the wheel (see figure).

Use a graphing utility to graph the function in part (a).

Viewed from above, a turntable rotates counterclockwise. The angular velocity vector is then (a) tangential to the turntable's rim, (b) out of the plane of the turntable, (c) counterclockwise, (d) none of the preceding.

Suppose a bicycle wheel is rotated about an axis through its rim and parallel to its axle. Choose the best explanation from among the following: I. The moment of inertia is greatest when an object is rotated about its center. II. The mass and shape of the wheel remain the same. III. Mass is farther from the axis when the wheel is rotated about the rim.
