or if we define the surface velocity as a vector-type quantity:

Therefore we can get the surface velocity using the minimal value of ๐‘Ÿ๎ฌฆ and at the same
time the maximal value of ๐‘ฃ๎ฌฆ. These two vectors are perpendicular to each other, therefore

29.1. What is the surface velocity of the line segment connecting the Earth and the Moon?

Solution:

Let us first calculate the area of the triangle created by ๐‘Ÿโƒ— and ๐‘‘๐‘Ÿโƒ—:

|๐‘Ÿโƒ— ร— โˆ†๐‘Ÿโƒ—| โ†’ ๐ดฬ‡ = ๐‘‘๐ด

or if we define the surface velocity as a vector-type quantity:

๐ดโƒ—ฬ‡ =

๐ดโƒ—ฬˆ = 12 ๐‘ฃโƒ— ร— ๐‘ฃโƒ— + 12 ๐‘Ÿโƒ— ร— ๐‘Žโƒ— = 0, that is ๐ดโƒ—ฬ‡ = ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘ก. Therefore we can get the surface velocity using the minimal value of ๐‘Ÿโƒ— and at the same time the maximal value of ๐‘ฃโƒ—. These two vectors are perpendicular to each other, therefore the magnitude of their vector (cross) product is ๐‘Ÿ๐‘š๐‘–๐‘› โˆ™ ๐‘ฃ๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘ฅ,

29.2. What is the angular momentum of the reader respect to the center of the Earth? (The radius of Earth is 6373 km.)

Solution:

The definition of the angular momentum of a mass point with respect to a point of reference is

๐ฟโƒ—โƒ—(๐‘‚) = ๐‘Ÿโƒ— ร— ๐‘š๐‘ฃ.โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—

From this definition in our case we have got the following relation between ๐ฟโƒ—โƒ— and ๐œ”โƒ—โƒ—โƒ—:

|๐ฟโƒ—โƒ—| = โˆš๐›ฉ๐‘ฅ๐‘ง^2 + ๐›ฉ๐‘ฆ๐‘ง^2 + ๐›ฉ๐‘ง๐‘ง^2 ๐œ”๐‘ง,

where

๐›ฉ๐‘ฅ๐‘ง = โˆ’๐‘š๐‘ฅ๐‘ง ๐›ฉ๐‘ฆ๐‘ง = โˆ’๐‘š๐‘ฆ๐‘ง ๐›ฉ๐‘ง๐‘ง = ๐‘š(๐‘ฅ^2 + ๐‘ฆ^2 ).

Using these relations:

|๐ฟโƒ—โƒ—| = โˆš๐›ฉ๐‘ฅ๐‘ง^2 + ๐›ฉ๐‘ฆ๐‘ง^2 + ๐›ฉ๐‘ง๐‘ง^2 ๐œ”๐‘ง = ๐‘š๐œ”๐‘งโˆš๐‘ฅ^2 ๐‘ง^2 + ๐‘ฆ^2 ๐‘ง^2 + (๐‘ฅ^2 + ๐‘ฆ^2 )^2 =

29.8. Two 10 dkg balls with negligible size are attached to a rod with negligible mass and length of 20 cm. The center of this dumbbell is welded to a vertical axis in a 5 degree angle with respect to the horizontal axis. The 20 cm long vertical axis' endpoints are put in bearings, and than we rotate the whole body with an angular frequency of 400rad/s. What is the force acting on the bearings?

The rate of change of angular momentum on the one hand is

on the other hand from the angular momentum theorem

(The two bearing-forces are need to be equal in magnitude because of the equilibrium of the center of mass of the system.)
