B Doubt regarding the terms used in the solution

AI Thread Summary
The terms Lcm and Icm refer to the angular momentum and moment of inertia of a sphere, respectively, as measured from the center of mass. The "cm" indeed stands for center of mass, indicating that these calculations are based on the sphere's center of mass axis. There is a discussion about a potential misprint in the solution regarding the translational velocity, suggesting it should be "v" instead of "vο." This clarification is important for accurate understanding and application of the concepts. Overall, the terms and their usage in the solution are confirmed to be correct, with the noted misprint being the only issue.

In the solution, the term Lcm and Icm is used. Explain the meaning of these terms? I think cm stands for centre of mass. why that is used in the subscript?does the term angular momentum from the centre of mass of the sphere makes sense? Is the term Lcm and Icm stand for angular momentum of the sphere from the axis passing through the centre of mass of the sphere and moment of inertia of sphere from the axis passing through the centre of mass of the sphere respectively.

Yes.
 
Also in the solution it is written "suppose the translational velocity of the sphere after it start rolling,is vο"is this a misprint ?, and it should have been written v instead of vο.

Yes!
 
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.
