Physics 1111 CRN 87207 Exam III Name
December 1, 2008
1. Check your exam before starting and verify that it has six (6) pages.
2. This is a Closed Book Exam. Calculators and the Reference Data Pamphlet (provided by the
professor) are the only aides allowed.
3. You will have at least 75 minutes to finish the exam.
4. This exam is worth 100 points.
5. Please show all work for the numerical problems. Parital credit and propagation of error is earned
for correct work. Remember, if you cannot determine a piece of information that is necessary to
answer a follow-up question, you may assume a value and continue from there and still get P.O.E.
6. If you need more work space, write on the back of the previous page, and note that you have done
so at the bottom of the current page.
7. If you have questions during the exam, please ask the professor.

Multiple Choice: (Circle the best answer from the choices given.)

  1. A mass on a spring has an equation of x(t) = (0. 18 m)cos(4. 55 t). The maximum acceleration is:

(a) 0. 040 m/s^2 (b) 0. 18 m/s^2 (c). 819 m/s^2 (d) 3. 73 m/s^2

  1. A mass on a spring has its mass quadrupled and its spring constant cut in half. The frequency changes by a factor of:

(a) 2 √^12 (b) √^12 (c)

(d) 2

  1. A simple pendulum has its mass tripled and its length tripled. The time of one cycle increases by a factor of:

(a) 3 (b)

(c) 1 (d) (^13)

  1. A 2.2 meter long string is vibrated at its fifth harmonic. The linear distance from one node to an adjacent anti-node is:

(a) 1.1 m (b) .44 m (c) .22 m (d) .11 m

Circle the statements below that are false:

  1. The maximum force exerted by a mass on a spring is directly proportional to the maximum acceleration.
  2. Angular momentum is always conserved.
  3. A hoop and a cylinder of identical mass and radius are released from rest and roll down a hill from the same height. The cylinder reaches the bottom first.
  4. The angular frequency of a mass on a spring is independent of the amplitude.
  5. A string vibrating at the 4th harmonic has 4 nodes.
  6. A closed pipe vibrating at the 5th harmonic has 5 anti-nodes.
  1. A bicycle wheel (basically a hoop) of mass 2 kg and diameter 0.75 m is spinning at 42 rad/s, and is held by a person standing at rest on a massless, frictionless turn-table. As viewed from above, the wheel spins clockwise. The person has a moment of inertia of 8 kgm^2. The person flips the wheel over. SHOW ALL WORK

(a) Find the initial angular momentum of the wheel, ~L.

(b) What final angular velocity does the person have? (Include clockwise or counter-clockwise.)

(c) How much work is required for the person to flip the wheel?

  1. A platform is supported by two posts. The posts will buckle if the force in them exceeds 20000 N. The platform has a mass of 20 kg and is 5 meters long. Two masons each of mass 85 kg stand on it, one located 1.2 meters from the left, and one 0.4 meters from the right. A barrel of mortar of mass 45 kg is positioned 2.9 meters from the right. Bricks, each of mass 2 kg are then stacked in the middle.

(a) How many bricks will it take to break the platform, and which support breaks first? SHOW ALL WORK

(b) What is the force in the other support when the platform breaks? SHOW ALL WORK
