Randall D. Knight β Rotation of a Rigid Body: Problem 9
A student gives a quick push to a ball at the end of a massless, rigid rod, as shown in FIGURE Q12.9, causing the ball to rotate clockwise in a horizontal circle. The rodβs pivot is frictionless. As the student is pushing, does the torque vector point (a) toward the ball, (b) away from the ball, (c) in the direction of the push, (d) out of the page, or (e) into the page?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) toward the ball; (b) away from the ball; (c) in the direction of the push
