1. Locate the center of gravity of the homogeneous rod bent in the form of a semicircular arc. The rod has a weight per unit length of 3 N/m. Also, determine the horizontal reaction at the smooth support B and the x and y components of reaction at the pin A.
AXis Two spheres of mass m are attached to a light rod of length 2L. The rod is fixed at its center to a freely-rotating axis. The rod is horizontal when a small bird of mass 5m carefully lands on the right sphere. Express a answers in terms of m, L, and g (a) What is the net torque on the system the instant the bird lands (while the rod is still horizontal)? (b) Determine the angular acceleration of the...
Pivoted Rod with Unequal Masses (Figure 1) A thin rod of mass mr and length 2L is allowed to pivot freely about its center, as shown in the diagram. A small sphere of mass m1 is attached to the left end of the rod, and a small sphere of mass m2 is attached to the right end. The spheres are small enough that they can be considered point particles. The gravitational force acts downward, with the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration...
Problem-2 A very thin, uniformly-charged rod with total charge Q and length 2L lies along the vertical 2-axis. Sitting still (zero velocity and zero acceleration) at a distance H above the top end of the rod is a proton. Gravity is acting on the proton in the downward (-2) direction.

1. A uniform rod of mass M = 5.01kg and length L = 1.18m can

2. Determine the linear acceleration of the tip of the rod.
Assume that the force of gravity acts at the center of mass of the
rod, as shown.

a) Calculate the electrostatic force on a uniformly charged rod of length 2l,and charge q which lies along the axis of a uniformly charged ring of radius R and charge q'. The centers of the charged rod and the rings are displaced by z = z0 . (b) Show that if z0 >>l,is satisfied, then the expression of calculated force reduces to that between point charges.
3) A U-shaped rod has vertical sides of length L and a horizontal base of length 2L as shown below. The vertical sides each have a charge per unit length of +A while the base has a charge per unit length of -. Choose a cartesian coordinate system with its origin at the center of the base and with the x- and y- axes horizontal and vertical, respectively a. Solve for the approximate electric potential at the point (0,y) where...
A thin rod of mass M and length L has a fixed rotation axis a distance L/6 from one end. (a) Using the parallel-axis theorem, find the moment of inertia of the rod about its rotation axis. (b) Suppose the rod is held horizontally at rest and then released. Draw a free-body diagram of the rod at the moment of its release, and find its angular acceleration at this moment. (Remember that gravity acts at the rod’s center.) (c) Find...
