A metal can containing condensed mushroom soup has mass 215 g, height 10.8 cm, and diameter 6.38 cm. It is placed at rest on its side at the top of a 3.00-m-long incline that is at 25.08 to the horizontal and is then released to roll straight down. It reaches the bottom of the incline after 1.50 s. (a) Assuming mechanical energy conservation, calculate the moment of inertia of the can. (b) Which pieces of data, if any, are unnecessary for calculating the solution? (c) Why can’t the moment of inertia be calculated from I512mr2for the cylindrical can?

Part a)

Moment of inertia of the cylinder is given as

Part B)

Height of the cylinder is of no use here to calculate the inertia

Part C)

Since we don't know about the viscosity data of the soup inside the cylinder so we can't say directly about the moment of inertia of the cylinder as

Explanation:

As we know that the inclined plane is of length L = 3 m

and its inclination is given as 25 degree

so we know that acceleration of center of mass of the cylinder is constant so we will have

so we have

now we know that

Now we have know that final speed of the cylinder due to pure rolling is given as

Part B)

Height of the cylinder is of no use here to calculate the inertia

Part C)

Since we don't know about the viscosity data of the soup inside the cylinder so we can't say directly about the moment of inertia of the cylinder as

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
