2-A fisherman starts his outboard motor by pulling on a rope wrapped around the outer rim of a
flywheel. The flywheel is a solid cylinder with a mass of 9.5 kg and a diameter of 15 cm. The flywheel starts from rest and after 12 s, it rotates at 51 rad/s. a. What torque does the fisherman apply to the flywheel? b. How much force does the fisherman need to exert on the rope to apply this torque?

3-A 91.2-N ladder is in equilibrium, resting on two sawhorses, as shown below. What force does
each sawhorse exert on the ladder?

4- A 2.0-g coin is placed on a flat turntable at a distance of 5.0 cm from the center of rotation.

7-A carnival Ferris wheel takes 45.0 s to move from rest to the maximum ride speed. At its
maximum speed, the ride makes one complete revolution every 12.0 s. Calculate the angular acceleration of this ride.

8- A 75.0-g mass is attached to a 1.0-m length of string and whirled around in the air at a rate of
4.0 rev/s when the string breaks. a. What was the breaking force of the string? b. What was the linear velocity of the mass as soon as the string broke?

A system consists of a steal beam of mass M = 68.4 kg and length L = 1.84 m, with a 39.0-kg brass sphere attached at the right end of the rod, as shown below.

a. Determine the moment of inertia of the system for rotation about an axis through the center of the steel beam (axis A). b. Determine the moment of inertia of the system for rotation about an axis through one end of the beam (axis B). c. Determine the constant horizontal force, F, that must be exerted on the brass sphere in order to produce an angular acceleration of the system such that = 2 rads. F is exerted perpendicular to the steel beam, and the system rotates around axis B. d. Consider part c. If the system started from rest, determine the linear velocity of the brass sphere after the force has been applied for 4.0 s.
