CONTEXT-RICH The pitcher in a baseball game has a blazing fastball. You have not been able to swing the bat in time to hit the ball. You are now just trying to make the bat connect with the ball, hit the ball foul, and avoid a strikeout. So you decide to take your coachs advice and grip the bat high rather than at the very end.

In problems dealing with a pulley with a nonzero moment of inertia, the magnitude of the tensions in the ropes hanging on either side of the pulley are not equal. The difference in the tension is due to the static frictional force between the rope and the pulley; however, the static frictional force cannot be made arbitrarily large. Consider a massless rope wrapped partly around a cylinder through an angle \(\Delta \theta\) (measured in radians). It can be shown that if the tension on one side of the pulley is T, while the tension on the other side is \(T^{\prime}\left(T^{\prime}>T\right)\) the maximum value of \(T^{\prime}\) that can be maintained without the rope slipping is \(T_{\max }^{\prime}=T e^{\mu_{s} \Delta \theta}\) where \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}\) is the coefficient of static friction. Consider the Atwood’s machine in Figure 9-76: the pulley has a radius the moment of inertia is \(I=0.35 \mathrm{\ kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2}\) and the coefficient of static friction between the wheel and the string is \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=0.30\) (a) If the tension on one side of the pulley is what is the maximum tension on the other side that will prevent the rope from slipping on the pulley?
