What torque does the fish exert about an axis perpendicular to the screen and passing through the fisherman's hand?
A. 168 N·m
B. 109 N·m
C. 200 N·m
D. 308 N·m
Answer
B. less than
The hollow sphere has a larger moment of inertia and therefore a
larger rotational energy than the solid sphere. They each have the same translational kinetic energy.
Therefore, the total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is less than the total kinetic energy of the
hollow sphere.
C. −4.13 rad/s2
A. 160
A. 168 N·m
