Rotational Motion
A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a maximum speed of 27 m/sec in a time of 30 seconds. Each wheel has a radius of .36 m and a mass of 20 kg. Calculate the angular momentum of each wheel the angular acceleration of the wheels ( alpha) and the angular velocity (omega).

Rotational Motion
A 4.0 kg mass is attached to a string that is wound around a pulley of the same mass as shown in the figure. The mass has gained a speed of 3.0m/s after being released from rest and descending a distance h. The pulleys angular velocity is 40.0 rad/s. The string does not slip on the pulley and there is no friction at the axle of the pulley. Calculate the tension and the Radius of the cylinder.

Pressure
A hospital patient receives an IV injection under gravity flow. If the blood (gauge) pressure in the vein is 20.0mm hg above what height should the IV bad be places in order to assure flow into the vein. Your normal blood ( gauge) pressure is expressed as 120/80 ( in mm Hg). Why is the blood pressure in the problem so low?

Equation of Rotational Motion
The certain amusement park merry-go-round, moving at its constant operational speed, takes 60 s to complete one complete rotation. Two children are riding hourses one at 3.0 m form the center and the second at 6.0 m from the center. Find the angular speed for each child. Find the linear or tangential speed for each child. If it takes two minutes for the rode to reach its constant operational speed What is the angular acceleration?

Hydraulic lift
In a car lift used by a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston or radius 5 cm. This pressure is transmitted to a second piston of radius 15 cm. What force must the compressed air exert on the small piston to lift a car whose mass is 1200 kg? What compressed air pressure is necessary to produce this force? Is this a reasonable answer? Explain.
