Problem 3.73
In a Fourth of July celebration, a firecracker is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of 25.9
at 36.9 from the vertical. At its maximum height it explodes in a starburst into many fragments, two of which
travel forward initially at 24.2 at 45.1 with respect to the horizontal, both quantities measured relative to
the original firecracker just before it exploded.

measured by a spectator standing on the ground?

Part A
Which of the forces on the cylinder exert(s) a torque about the center of the cylinder?
Correct
Since the surface and incline are perfectly rigid, the normal force exerted by the incline on the cylinder is
directed toward the cylinder's center. Hence, this force exerts zero torque about the center. The weight of
the cylinder acts at its center (because the cylinder is uniform), so this force also exerts zero torque around
the center. The friction force acts tangential to the circumference of the cylinder, so it does exert a torque
around the center.

Two blocks, a lightweight one of mass and a heavy one of mass , are connected by a very light
flexible cord that passes over a pulley of mass , radius , and moment of inertia . The pulley (which is
suspended from the ceiling) spins on frictionless bearings. The cord does not slip on the pulley. When released,
the block of mass accelerates upward, the block of mass accelerates downward, and the pulley has
a clockwise angular acceleration.

Which is the correct relationship among the weights of the two blocks and the tensions and on the two
sides of the pulley?

The net force on the block of mass must be downward so that this block accelerates downward, so
must be greater than . The net torque on the pulley must be clockwise, so must be greater than
. Finally, the net force on the block of mass must be upward so that this block accelerates upward,
so must be greater than . Hence, .
