Q3, Q4 and Q5
1. You need to know the moment of inertia ofcommon shapes such as rod, sphere, ring,cylinder, disk etc. These are not given in the
exam.2. These questions consist of two parts:
a) Descriptive (10 marks) – you need to explain thereason to your answer based on the concepts you
learnt from the subject. In some question it mayrequire minor calculation.
b) Calculation (15 marks)

Some examples/ideas on the
descriptive questions
Chapter 6• Define the moment of inertia. Explain briefly the concept of parallel axis
theorem.
• Explain briefly how the parallel-axis theorem can be used in determining
the rotational equation of motion for the unbalanced flywheel shown in
the figure, where G is the centre of gravity of the flywheel.

Chapter 6
• A farmer is trying to lift a 300 kg cow from the edge of a cliff at a constantspeed. He is thinking of using two methods shown in the figure. The firstmechanism consists of a frictionless fixed pulley at A while the secondmechanism consists of a fixed frictionless pulley at A and a movable pulleyat B. Compare the performance of the two methods in terms of the total
time taken and the force that is needed in order to lift the cow. Supportyour answer with a simple theoretical analysis. Detail calculation is notnecessary.

Chapter 6• Explain briefly the term kinetic moment in the equation of rotational motion of a
rigid body.• The sphere, cylinder and thin ring shown in the figure below each have mass m
and radius r . Each is released from rest on identical inclines. Assuming that theyroll without slipping, determine which body will have the largest initial angularacceleration by using the method of force and acceleration?

Chapter 7
• With the aid of a diagram, explain why the weight of an
object is a conservative force.
• Derive the expression for the principle of work and energy.
• What is the main different in work and energy methods when they
are applied to problems involving rigid bodies as opposed to whenthey are applied to problems involving particles?
• There are some external forces that do no work when the body is
displaced. Give two examples of these forces and explain why these
forces do no work.

Chapter 7
• A single badminton player is planning to buy a new racket. The racket, asshown in the figure, is normally categorized according to the weight of thehead (head heavy or head light) and the flexibility of the shaft (flexible orstiff). As a single player, he is aiming for a racket which can provide amassive power and a good accuracy. As a sale person, which of the headand shaft criteria would you suggest to the player? Explain and relate you
answer to the concept of mechanical energy. No detail calculation isnecessary.

Chapter 7
• Three rigid bodies shown in the figure (a thin ring, a solid cylinder and a solid
sphere) have the same radius r and mass m. They are released from rest at the
same elevation and at the same instant. They roll without slipping down the
identical planes for a distance x = 1 m. Using the principle of conservation of
energy, determine which body first travels the 1 m distance. Based on your
answer, conclude the meaning of the term mass moment of inertia?

Chapter 8
• Derive the expression for the principle of impulse and momentum.
• What is an impulsive force? Explain briefly the importance of the car
bumper in the context of impulse and momentum.
• From momentum and impulse perspective, explain why a car is designed
in such a way that it will experience damage easily during an accident or acrash.
• Define
o Linear momentum
o Angular momentum
•
Consider a swimmer who executes a somersault after jumping off a divingboard. The swimmer first tucks in his arms and legs close to his chest, then
straightens out just before entering the water. Explain why he does that
using the concept from the principle of angular impulse and momentum.

Chapter 8
• Spins are common in ice-skating. In a spin, a skater rotates about a
vertical axis that runs through the skater’s body. The skater controls
his spin rate by extending or retracting the arms and/or legs.
Explain how the skater is able to control the spin without external
help. Relate your answer to the principle of conservation of angularmomentum.
• From momentum point of view, explain why a baseball bat is
designed with very solid and strong structure.
