A rigid rotor has two particles of mass m attached to the ends of a massless rigid rod of length a. The rotor is free to rotate in three dimensions about the center of mass. This is a model for the rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule, a molecule with two identical nuclei. (An example is 16O2.) (a) By expressing the Hamiltonian in terms of the orbital angular momentum, show that the allowed energies of this rigid rotor are...
A bob of mass m is attached to a massless rigid rod of length L at an angle, theta, which is in turn attached to a firctionless hinge. A constant force, F = Fî acts on the bob. If the system begins at rest at theta = pi/5, find (a) its kinematic energy when it reaches theta = pi/30 and (b) its angular momentum when it reaches theta = 0.
2) A particle of mass m, is attached to a massless rod of length L which is pivoted at O and is free to rotate in the vertical plane as shown below.

A mass m has a massless hook of length 2L attached to it. The
end of this hook is a massless sticky scoop. This system of mass

directly into this scoop, sticks, and the whole thing starts to
move and rotate. Find expressions for the linear and rotational
velocity of the combined object after the first mass is caught.

A rigid bar with mass m and length L is pivoted at the fixed point O. A small disk of mass M is attached at the upper end of the bar. The disk is attached to a spring of stiffness k and a viscous damper with damping constant c. The moment of inertia of the bar about point O is Io M2/3 and the spring is unstretched when the bar is vertical. rs Under what condition is the vertical position...
A particle P of mass m kg is attached to two fixed points A and B by two identical model springs, each of stiffness k and natural length lo- The point A is at a height 1/o above the point B. The particle is free to oscillate vertically under gravity. The stiffness of each spring is given by k = 4mg/10. The horizontal level passing through the fixed point A is taken as the datum for the gravitational potential energy....
A massless rigid rod whose length L = 21.0 cm has a ball of mass
m = 0.079 kg attached to one end (see Figure). The other end is
pivoted in such a way that the ball will move in a vertical circle.
The system is launched from the horizontal position A with an
initial downward speed v0. The ball just reaches point D
and then stops. Calculate v0.
What is the tension in the rod at B?
