Part A A right angle made of two tiny rods is hung by a string as in the figure below. The mass of the rods is proportional to their lengths. The ratio of b to a is 1.90. What is the angle ?? Express your answer in degrees.

Step 1
Torque is the rotational equivalent of force and is calculated as the product of the force and the distance from the pivot point (in this case, the point where the strings are attached). The force acting on each rod is its weight, which is the product of its mass Show more…

A moving rod is observed to have a length of $\ell=2.00 \mathrm{m}$ and to be oriented at an angle of $\theta=30.0^{\circ}$ with respect to the direction of motion as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 39.27$ . The rod has a speed of 0.995$c$ (a) What is the proper length of the rod? (b) What is the orientation angle in the proper frame?

Two identical slender rods $A B$ and $B C$ are welded together to form an L-shaped assembly. The assembly is pressed against a spring at $D$ and released from the position shown. Knowing that the maximum angle of rotation of the assembly in its subsequent motion is $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise, determine the magnitude of the angular velocity of the assembly as it passes through the position where rod $A B$ forms an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal.
