Problem 7.61
A bowling ball is thrown onto a lane with a backspin
!0
and forward velocity
v0
. The mass of the ball is
m
, its radius is
r
, its radius of gyration is
kG
, and
the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ball and the lane is
k
. Assume
the mass center Gis at the geometric center.
For a
14 lb
ball with
rD4:25 in:
,
kGD2:6 in
,
!0D10 rad=s
, and
v0D17 mph
, determine the time it takes for the ball to start rolling without
slip and its speed when it does so. In addition, determine the distance it travels
before it starts rolling without slip. Use kD0:10.

Now that we have the angular acceleration of the ball and the acceleration of its center, we can find the
time it takes for the ball to start rolling without slip by noting that the kinematic condition for no slip is
of McGraw-Hill, and must be surrendered upon request of McGraw-Hill. Any duplication or distribution, either in print or electronic form, without the
permission of McGraw-Hill, is prohibited.
