Homework Statement Consider two forces F and -F that act at different points on an extended object. Show that the net force of this combination is zero and that the torque about any point P is independent of the location of P, and depends only on the separation of the two points at which the...

Homework Statement A cylinder of known mass M, radius R, and rotational inertia I is placed on an inclined plane with angle θ. A string is wound around the cylinder and pulled up with a tension T parallel to the inclined plane. The coefficient of static friction is large enough to prevent...

Homework Statement A homogeneous cylinder of mass 1.20 kg and diameter 25 cm rolls down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 25 degrees with the horizontal. What is the speed of the axis of the cylinder by the time the cylinder has rolled 1.00 m down the plane? Homework EquationsThe...
