Two disks are rotating about the same axis. Disk A has a moment of inertia of 3.4 kgm2 and an angular velocity of 7.2 rad/s. Disk B is rotating with an angular velocity of −9.8 rad/s. The two disks are then linked together without the aid of any external torques, so that they rotate as a single unit with an angular velocity of −2.4 rad/s. The axis of rotation for this unit is the same as that for the separate disks. What is the moment of inertia of disk B?

During a relay race, runner A runs a certain distance due north and then hands off the baton to runner B, who runs for the same distance in a direction south of east. The two displacement vectors A→{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”A→”} and B→{“version”:”1.1″,”math”:”B→”} can be added together to give a resultant vector. Which drawing correctly shows the resultant vector?

A boat is being pulled up the middle of a canal at a steady speed by two horses, one on each side of the canal. The ropes tying the boat to the horses each make an angle of 30° with the lengthwise direction of the canal. If the force exerted on each horse by its rope is 2000 N, how much force would a single rope need to accomplish the same effect as the two forces added together?
