PROBLEM 18.21
One of the sculptures displayed on a university campus consists
of a hollow cube made of six aluminum sheets, each
1.5 1.5 m,×
welded together and reinforced with internal braces
of negligible weight. The cube is mounted on a fixed base at A
and can rotate freely about its vertical diagonal AB. As she
passes by this display on the way to a class in mechanics, an
engineering student grabs corner C of the cube and pushes it
for 1.2 s in a direction perpendicular to the plane ABC with an
average force of 50 N. Having observed that it takes 5 s for the
cube to complete one full revolution, she flips out her
calculator and proceeds to determine the mass of the cube.
What is the result of her calculation? (Hint: The perpendicular
distance from the diagonal joining two vertices of a cube to any
of its other six vertices can be obtained by multiplying the side
of the cube by
2/3.)

PROBLEM 18.22
If the aluminum cube of Problem 18.21 were replaced by a
cube of the same size, made of six plywood sheets with mass
8 kg each, how long would it take for that cube to complete one
full revolution if the student pushed its corner C in the same
way that she pushed the corner of the aluminum cube?
