Max Rotation Rate of a Slowing Turntable

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the maximum rotation rate of a slowing turntable, defined by its radius "r" and initial rate "ω." Participants are tasked with expressing the time at which the rotation rate, denoted as ωt², reaches its maximum in terms of T, the total time until the turntable stops. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the slope of a curve at points of maxima and minima to solve the problem effectively. Additionally, the need to formulate an equation for the curve is highlighted as a crucial step in the analysis. The discussion aims to clarify the mathematical approach required to find the solution.

Homework Statement



A turntable of radius "r" is spinning counterclockwise at an initial rate of ω. at t=0, its rotation rate begins to slow at a steady pace. the rotation finally stops at t=T. At what time is ωt^2 maximum. Express your answer in terms of T.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
