Additional Problems On Rotation
When the wheel has stopped then of course its angular velocity is zero
Example: As shown in the figure, three masses, of 1.5 kg each, are
fastened at fixed position to a very light rod pivoted at one end.

Example: Calculate the rotational inertia of a meter stick with mass
0.56 kg, about an axis perpendicular to the stick and located at the
20 cm mark.

A uniform slab of dimensions: a = 60 cm, b = 80 cm, and c = 2.0 cm
(see Fig. 6) has a mass of 6.0 kg. Its rotational inertia about an axis
perpendicular to the larger face and passing through one corner of the
slab is: (Ans: 2.0 kg.m2 )

A uniform thin rod of mass M = 3.00 kg and length L = 2.00 m is
pivoted at one end O and acted upon by a force F = 8.00 N at the other
end as shown in Figure 5. The angular acceleration of the rod at the
moment the rod is in the horizontal position as shown in this figure is:
(Ans 4.0 rad/s2 counterclockwise)

In the Fig, Shows a uniform
disk, with mass M=2.5 kg
and radius R=20cm, mounted
on a fixed horizontal axle. A
block with mass m=1.2 kg
hangs from a massless cord
that is wrapped around the rim
of the disk. Find the
acceleration of the falling
block, the angular acceleration
of the disk, and the tension in
the cord. The cord does not
slip, and there is no friction at
the axle.
