PHYSICS 207: Final


Print your name and section clearly on all pages. (If you do not know your section number, write your TA's name.) Show all work in the space immediately below each problem. Your final answer must be placed in the box provided. Problems will be graded on reasoning and intermediate steps as well as on the final answer. Be sure to include units wherever necessary, and the direction of vectors. In doing the problems, try to be neat. Check your answers to see that they have the correct dimensions (units) and are the right order of magnitudes. You are allowed four 8½ x 11" sheet of notes and no other references. The exam lasts exactly 120 minutes.

NOTE: For the purposes of this exam you may assume:

  1. $g=10$ m/s$^2$
  2. $I_{cylinder}=\frac{1}{2} MR^2$
  3. $I_{sphere}=\frac{2}{5} MR^2$
  4. $I_{hoop}=~~MR^2$
  5. $I_{hollow~cylinder}=\frac{1}{2} M (R_1^2+R_2^2)$
  6. $I_{bar}=\frac{1}{12} M R^2$

Do NOT write below this point.
