Question
A cylinder of length 20cm and radius 10cm is rotating about its central axis at an angular speed of 100rad/s. What tangential force will stop the cylinder at a uniform rate in 10 seconds? The moment of inertia of the cylinder about its axis of rotation is 0.8kgm2.

Answer

$\alpha=\frac{\omega-\omega_0}{\text{t}}=-10\text{rad/s}^2$
$\text{F.R}=\text{I }\alpha$
$\text{F}=\frac{\text{I }\alpha}{\text{R}}$
$=\frac{(0.8\text{kgm}^2)(-10\text{rad/s}^2)}{0.1\text{m}}=-80\text{N}.$

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes $\frac{1}{100}$ second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy? What are the difficulties in having this separation?

An adult weighing 600N raises the centre of gravity of his body by 0.25m while taking each step of 1m length in jogging. If he jogs for 6km, calculate the energy utilised by him in jogging assuming that there is no energy loss due to friction of ground and air. Assuming that the body of the adult is capable of converting 10% of energy intake in the form of food, calculate the energy equivalents of food that would be required to compensate energy utilised for jogging.
