The problem:
The metal strap used in the Angular Velocity of a Strap experiment is constrained by a vertical push pin to rotate about a hole in a die. The die is glued in place to a massive tabletop. A rubber band is attached to a point 15 cm from the axis and stretched so that it exerts a force of 3 Newtons, directed perpendicular to the rod. If this force is unopposed it will accelerate the system rapidly. You want to attach a second rubber band 5 cm from the axis to prevent the system from rotating.
How much force will that rubber band have to exert?
answer/question/discussion:
15cm*3N = 5cm*?N
45N*cm = 5cm*?N
9N = ?
Once both of these forces are in place and the system is stationary, what (if anything) will happen if the glue holding the die to the tabletop comes loose?
answer/question/discussion:
The whole thing will move in the direction of the force. I think it will rotate some and the side with the rubber band only 5cm from the previous center will move faster.
