A kugel fountain, also known as a floating sphere fountain, is a sculpture that suspends a large, typically stone, sphere on a thin plane of water. One of three in Columbus, is on campus in the Chadwick Arboretum on the corner of Lane Ave. and Olentangy. Kugel fountains have very little friction between the stone sphere and the hollow in which they sit, so it takes very little torque to start one moving from rest. Required:
a. The kugel fountain in the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivor's Plaza in the Lane Ave Gardens has a granite sphere with a mass of approximately 1,800 kg, and a radius of about half a meter. You use your hand to apply a tangential force on the sphere to start it rotating from rest, and it takes 12 seconds to complete a quarter revolution. What is the average torque you applied to the sphere?
b. What is the average magnitude of the tangential force you applied?
c. How does this compare to the weight of a cellphone?

In physics the desire of an object to keep doing what it is doing is termed?

Explain earth's motion, using the terms "precession" and "rotation" in your answer.

The bubba chump shrimp company processes and packages shrimp for sale to wholesale seafood distributors. the shrimp are transported to the main plant by trucks that carry 1,000 pounds (lb) of shrimp. once the continuous flow processing of the shrimp begins, no inventory is allowed in buffers due to spoilage and all of the shrimp must be processed within 12 hours to prevent spoilage. the processing begins at the sorter, where the trucks dump the shrimp onto a conveyor belt that feeds into the sorter, which can sort up to 500 lb per hour. the shrimp then proceed to the desheller, which can process shrimp at the rate of 400 lb per hour. however, after 3 hours and 45 minutes of processing, the desheller must be stopped for 15 minutes to clean out empty shrimp shells that have accumulated. the veins of the shrimp are then removed in the deveining area at a maximum rate of 360 lb per hour. the shrimp proceed to the washing area, where they are processed at 750 lb per hour. finally, the shrimp are packaged and frozen. what is the daily process capacity of the processing plant (excluding the packaging and freezing)?
