4. PROBLEM 11-55*: In Fig , one block has mass M = 500 g, the other has mass m = 460 g, and the pulley, which is mounted in horizontal frictionless bearings, has a radius of 5.00 cm. When released from rest, the heavier block falls 75.0 cm in 5.00 s (without the cord slipping on the pulley) (a) What is the magnitude of the blocks' acceleration? What is the tension in the part of the cord that supports (b) the heavier block and (c) the lighter block? (d) What is the magnitude of the pulley's angular acceleration?

5. PROBLEM 11-56: A pulley, with a rotational inertia of 1
PROBLEM 11-56: A pulley, with a rotational inertia of kg·m2 about its axle and a radius of 10 cm, is acted on by a force applied tangentially at its rim. The force magnitude varies in time as F = t t2, with F in newtons and t in seconds. The pulley is initially at rest. At t = 3.0 s what are (a) its angular acceleration and (b) its angular speed?

7. PROBLEM 11-63: A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it hits the floor, assuming that the end on the floor does not slip. (Hint: Consider the stick to be a thin rod and use the conservation of energy principle.)

8. PROBLEM 11-66: A uniform spherical shell of mass M and radius R rotates about a vertical axis on frictionless bearings (Fig ). A massless cord passes around the equator of the shell, over a pulley of rotational I and radius r, and is attached to a small object of mass m. There is no friction on the pulley's axle; the cord does not slip on the pulley. What is the speed of the object after it falls a distance h from rest? Use energy considerations.

9. Problem 12-5: A 1000 kg car has four 10 kg wheels
Problem 12-5: A 1000 kg car has four 10 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to rotation of the wheels about their axles? Assume that the wheels have the same rotational inertia as uniform disks of the same mass and size. Why do you not need the radius of the wheels?
