While sitting in a swivel chair, you push against the floor with your heel to make the chair spin. The 6.7 N frictional force is applied at a point 39 cm from the chair's rotation axis, in the direction that causes the greatest angular acceleration.
If that angular acceleration is 1.8 rad/s², what is the total moment of inertia about the axis of you and the chair?

I = 1.4kgm²

Explanation:

The rotational motion is caused by the frictional force, which generates a torque on the system. As there is no other force that creates a torque, this can be expressed in the equation of rotational motion below:

And , where r is the distance from the point of application and the rotation axis, and f is the magnitude of the frictional force. This is because the frictional force is applied in the direction that causes the greatest angular acceleration (this is, 90°) and . Then, we have that:

Plugging in the given values, we obtain:

In words, the total moment of inertia is equal to 1.4kgm².

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
