Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A wheel of radius R is rolling without slipping at a speed of v. Determine the relationship between linear speed and angular speed.

💡 Hint: Consider how the edge of the wheel moves compared to its center.

Challenge 2 Hard

A rod pivoted at one end is released from rest in a vertical plane. Calculate the angular momentum when it has rotated θ degrees.

💡 Hint: Think about both rotational and translational aspects of the rod's motion.
