Q4-(25 pts.) Consider a rigid body that is made of seven identical circular rings. Each ring has a radius R and mass M with uniform mass density. This rigid body is free to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the plane of figure/paper and passing through point P. It is initially held at rest in the vertical position as shown in the figure. It is then given a negligible push and set into counterclockwise rotation at t=0. The gravitational acceleration g>0 is downwards as usual.
(a)(5 pts) Using integration (sketch it), calculate the moment of inertia Iring of a single circular ring about a perpendicular axis through its center of mass.
(b)(10 pts) Find the moment of inertia IP of this rigid body with respect to the pivot P. Express it in terms of Iring,M and R.
(c)(10 pts) Find the linear velocity of the center of mass of this rigid body when its angular displacement (from its initial position with respect to the rotation axis) becomes 53. Express it in terms of IP,g,M and R.
