Solutions (Exam 3.)
1. d_theta = 2*PI, d_t = 60 sec  --> omega = d_theta / d_t = 0.105 rad/s

2. omega = alpha * t  --> t = 120/4.0 = 30 s

3. theta = omega * t + 1/2 * alpha * t^2 = 1800 rad since alpha = 14.0 rad/s^2

4. omega = 240rev/min = 240*2*PI/60 = 25.13 rad/s  --> v = r*omega = 12.5 m/s

5. torque = r*F*sin(theta) = 0.2*(70*9.81) = 137 N.m

6. torque = I * alpha --> I = torque/alpha = 960/6.20 = 2/3 * MR^2
   --> M = 960/6.20 / (2/3) / 1.9^2 = 64.4 kg

7. L = 2 * r*mv = 2 * .5 * 3 * 2 = 6.0

8. omega = 2*PI/(24*60*60) = 7.2722x10^(-5)  
   --> L = m*r^2*omega = 84*(6370*10^3)^2*7.2722x10^(-5) = 2.5x10^11

9. L_i = L_f  -->  I_i * omega_i = I_f * omega_f  --> omega_f = 6.0*1.2/2.0 = 3.6 rev/s

10. K.E. = 1/2 * I * omega^2   --> KE_i < KE_f 

Solutions (Exam 2.)

1. a = v^2 / r = v^2 / (R_E + h) = 8.38 m/s^2

2. centfugal force of m = weight of M
   m*v^2 / r = Mg  --> v = (Mgr/m)^(-1/2) = 5.42 m/s

3. v = a*t, a_av = (50-0)/2 / 10.0 = 2.5 m/s^2 --> v = a_av * t = 10 m/s

4. f = mu * N, N = m*g + F*sin(40) = 43.94 [N] --> f = 0.25*43.94 = 11 [N]

5. a = F_x / m = (F*cos(40) - f) / 3.5 = 0.14 m/s^2 

6. (change of potential energy of block) = (potential energy of compressed spring)
   m*g*del_h = 1/2 * k * x^2 --> 2.0*9.81*0.4 = 1/2 * 1960 * x^2
   -->  x = 10 cm

7. x_CM = (m_1 * x_1 + m_2 * x_2 + m_3 * x_3) / (m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = 1.1
   y_CM = (m_1 * y_1 + m_2 * y_2 + m_3 * y_3) / (m_1 + m_2 + m_3) = 1.3

8. By the conservation of linear momentum, (m: mass of bullet, M1: 1st block, M2: 2nd)
   M1 * v1 + (M2+m) * v2 = m * v  -->  v = 937 m/s

9. Right after the bullet emerges from the 1st block, the bullet and the 1st block are moving.
   Again, by the momentum conservation, 
   m * v = M1 * v1 + m * v'   --> v' = 721 m/s

10-11. By the momentum conservation along x and y axis (m: mass of the ball)
	   x:    m * 2.2 = m * 1.1 * cos(60) + m * v * cos(theta)      ....eq. 1
       y:    m * 1.1 * sin(60) = m * v * sin(theta)           .........eq. 2
	   From eq. 2, 
	      v = 1.1 * sin(60) / sin(theta)    .... eq. 3
	   Substituting eq. 3 into eq. 1,
	      sin(theta)/cos(theta) = tan(theta) = (1.1 * sin(60)) / (2.2 - 1.1 * cos(60))
		  ---> theta = 30 degree
		  ---> v = 1.9 m/s

12. elastic since K.E. was conserved.

13-15. Refer to Ex. 7-5 of our textbook.
