FIRST COMMON HOUR EXAM
Monday, Feb. 23, 2009
Professor Ron Gilman
Your name sticker with exam code. SIGN HERE NOW:
1. The exam will last from 9:40 - 11:00 p.m. Use a #2 pencil to make entries
on the answer sheet. Enter the following ID information, items 2-5,
now, before the exam starts...
2. In the section labeled NAME (Last, First, M.I.) enter your last name, then
fill in the empty circle for a blank, then enter your first name, another
blank, and finally your middle initial.
3. Under STUDENT # enter your 9-digit RUID Number.
4. Enter 124 under COURSE; you may ignore the section number.
5. Under CODE enter the exam code given above.
6. During the exam, you may use pencils, a calculator, and one 8.5 x 11 inch
sheet (both sides) with formulas and notes.
7. There are 15 multiple-choice questions on the exam. For each question,
mark only one answer on the answer sheet. There is no deduction of points
for an incorrect answer, so even if you cannot work out the answer to a
question, you should make an educated guess. At the end of the exam,
hand in the answer sheet and this SIGNED cover page. Retain the
exam questions attached for future reference and study.
8. When you are asked to open the exam, make sure that your copy contains
all 15 questions. Raise your hand if this is not the case, and a proctor will
help you. Also raise your hand during the exam if you have a question.
9. Please have your student ID ready to show to the proctor during the exam.
10. Possibly useful constants: the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s
surface is g = 9.8 m/s2, the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67×1011
Nm2/kg2, the mass of the Earth is 6×1024 kg, and the radius of the Earth
is 6.4×106m.

  10. Possibly useful constants: the acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface is g = 9.8 m/s^2 , the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67× 10 −^11 Nm^2 /kg^2 , the mass of the Earth is 6× 1024 kg, and the radius of the Earth is 6.4× 106 m.
  1. Calculate the net torque about point O for the two forces applied as in Figure 1. The rod and both forces are in the plane of the page. Take positive torques to be counterclockwise.

a) 12 N·m b) -12 N·m c) 28 N·m d) -28 N·m e) -52 N·m

  1. An artist constructs the mobile shown in Figure 2. In the illustrated con- figuration, the mobile is perfectly balanced. If the artist decides to make the star twice as massive, and not change the length of any crossbar or the location of any object, what does she have to do with the mass of the smiley face to keep the mobile in perfect balance? Note that she may have to change masses of other objects to keep the entire structure balanced.

a) make it eight times more mas- sive b) make it four times more mas- sive c) make it twice times more mas- sive d) nothing e) impossible to tell

  1. The flywheel of an engine has moment of inertia 3.0 kg/m^2 about its rotation axis. What constant torque is required to bring it up to an angular speed of 10rad/s in 10s, starting from rest? a) 1.5 N·m b) 3 N·m c) 6 N·m d) 30 N·m e) 150 N·m
  1. A circular steel wire 2m long must stretch no more than 0.3cm when a tensile force of 500N is applied to each end of the wire. What minimum diameter is required for the wire? (Youngs modulus of steel is 2× 1011 Pa.)

a) 7.3× 10 −^4 m b) 1.46× 10 −^3 m c) 2.05× 10 −^3 m d) 2.91× 10 −^3 m e) 4.61× 10 −^3 m

  1. Very far from the Sun (at R ≈ ∞), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If only the gravitational force of the Sun were to act on it (neglect the forces from other solar system objects), the spacecraft would eventually crash into the Sun.

Under what circumstances is this statement true? a) for an object that is partially submerged in a fluid b) only for an object that floats c) for an object completely submerged in a fluid d) for no object partially or completely submerged in a fluid e) none of the above
  2. A flask of water rests on a scale that reads 100 N (see Figure 6). Then, a small block is held completely submerged in the water. The block does not touch any part of the flask, and the person holding the block will not tell you whether the block is being pulled up (keeping it from falling further) or pushed down (keeping it from bobbing back up). What is the new reading on the scale?
