Answer:
(A) The speed just as it left the ground is 30.25 m/s
(B) The maximum height of the rock is 46.69 m
Explanation:
Given;
weight of rock, w = mg = 20 N
speed of the rock at 14.8 m, u = 25 m/s
(a) Apply work energy theorem to find its speed just as it left the ground
work = Δ kinetic energy
F x d = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²
mg x d = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)
g x d = ¹/₂(v² - u²)
gd = ¹/₂(v² - u²)
2gd = v² - u²
v² = 2gd + u²
v² = 2(9.8)(14.8) + (25)²
v² = 915.05
v = √915.05
v = 30.25 m/s
B) Use the work-energy theorem to find its maximum height
the initial velocity of the rock = 30.25 m/s
at maximum height, the final velocity = 0
- mg x H = ¹/₂mv² - ¹/₂mu²
- mg x H = ¹/₂m(0) - ¹/₂mu²
- mg x H = - ¹/₂mu²
2g x H = u²
H = u² / 2g
H = (30.25)² / 2(9.8)
H = 46.69 m
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is

where

Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from

to

The moment of inertia is

(from (-a/2) to

(a/2))
