Fowles and Cassiday Chapter 8 Problems 1(d), 2, 4(d), 5, 11, 12, 13
These are all (relatively) short problems. Problems like these could reasonably be put on the final exam.
A few hints:
8.5 If youre trying to set up an integral, youre making this problem way too hard. There are some
tricks.
8.11 The parallel axis theorem and the perpendicular axis theorem may both be helpful. Also, the
moment of inertia of a hoop rotating about its center, when the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the
plane of the hoop, is = 2 , since all of the mass is a distance R from the center.
8.12 Draw a free body diagram. Write out Newtons second law for both translational quantities
5

( =?) and rotational quantities ( =?). The answer is 7g.
