Global warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earths temperature can have significant consequences. For example, if the Earths polar ice caps were to melt entirely, the resulting additional water in the oceans would flood many coastal cities. Would it appreciably change the length of a day? Calculate the resulting change in the duration of one day. Model the polar ice as having mass kg and forming two flat disks of radius m. Assume the water spreads into an unbroken thin spherical shell after it melts. Penyelesaian The moment of inertia of the rest of the earth is ( For the original ice disks ( For the final thin shell of water ( ( ( )( ) ) ( ( ) ) ) ) )

11.54. A solid cube of wood of side 2a and mass M is resting on a horizontal surface. The cube is constrained to rotate about an axis AB (Fig. P11.54). A bullet of mass m and speed v is shot at the face opposite ABCD at a height of 4a/3. The bullet becomes embedded in the cube. Find the minimum value of v required to tip the cube so that it falls on face ABCD. Assume m M.

Penyelesaian For the cube to tip over, the center of mass (CM) must rise so that it is over the axis of rotation AB .To to this , the CM must be raised a distance of ( ) ( ) From conservation of angular momentum ( )

14.62. In about 1657 Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres. Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials, and then with greatest difficulty, with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing (Fig. P14.62). (a) Show that the force F required to pull the evacuated hemispheres apart is ( ), where R is the radius of the hemispheres and P is the pressure inside the hemispheres, which is much less than P0. (b) Determine the force if and .

Penyelesaian : (a) The pressure on the surface of the two hemispheres is constant at all points, and the force on each element of surface area is directed along the radius of the hemispheres.The applied force along the axis must balance the force on the effective area, which is the projection of the actual surface onto a plane perpendicular to the x axis. Therefore ( )
