Question

On (Figure 1) there is a photograph of a girl pushing on a large stone sphere. The sphere has a mass of 8200 kgand a radius of 90 cm and floats with nearly zero friction on a thin layer of pressurized water.

Suppose that she pushes on the sphere tangent to its surface with a steady force of F = 25N and that the pressured water provides a frictionless support. How long will it take her to rotate the sphere one time, starting from rest?

Explanation / Answer

moment of ineertia about surface = 1.4 m*r*r

T = I *alpha

F*r = 1.4*m*r*r *alpha

alpha = 0.00242 rad/sec

for one rotation

2pie = 0.5*alpha*t*t

t = 5195.52 sec
