Assignment 9. 28-Oct-2005
(Hints added, 2005-Nov-05)

1. Kleppner and Kolenkow, chapt.2, problem 2.20.

Solve for the accelerations of all the elements of this pedagogical machine, ~a1 , ~a2 and ~a3 .
If mass 3 starts at t = 0 at a height h above the bottom of its well, find
the time when it hits the bottom.
Instructions: do this problem as an exercise in correct procedure - define the
coordinate system, write every vector in terms of its components and solve
for these components.
2. Kleppner and Kolenkow, chapt.7, problem 7.2
3. Kleppner and Kolenkow, chapt.7, problem 7.4
Hint: this is not hard to solve once you see the physics that governs the
~ about a suitable
situation. You should calculate the angular momentum L
~
origin. Then dL/dt tells you what the torque must be, and you can determine
the normal force from the torque. The choice of origin is critical because
you dont want the unknown and irrelevant forces at the vertical axle to
contribute to the torque.
4. Kleppner and Kolenkow, chapt.7, problem 7.5
Hint: this problem is not hard to solve once you see the physics that governs
the situation. The first step is to understand why the car tends to tip. To do
~
this, calculate the angular momentum L(car)
about a suitably chosen origin
~
and see that dL(car)/dt requires that the normal forces on the wheels on the
right and left side of the car be different. Obviously, the origin needs so be
chosen in such a way that other unknown forces dont enter the equations.
Once you undestand what is happening, it is easy to add a flywheel in such
~ lywheel) + L(car))/dt
~
a way that d(L(f
doesnt require a torque from the
normal forces. The orientation of the flywheel is a little surprising if you are
thinking symmetry (I guessed wrong when asked on Friday) and you need
to make sure that it works for both left turns and right turns.
