A shaft is rotating at a uniform speed with four masses mı, m2, m3 and m4 of magnitudes 300 kg, 450kg, 360kg and 390 kg respectively. The masses are rotating in the same plane. The corresponding radii of rotation are 200mm, 150mm, 250mm and 300mm. The angles made by these masses with respect to horizontal are 0°, 45º, 120° and 255° respectively. 1) Check the magnitude and position of balance mass if it radius of rotation is 200mm, and 2) Evaluate the effect of adding the balance mass to the system.

In class, we used the 1967 gravity formula to derive the change in gravitational acceleration g with latitude, and we calculated the result at latitude o = 45°. Plot the rate of change of g with latitude () in units of mgal/km, from the equator to the pole (ø = 0° to ø = 90°). Be careful with the units; you will need to convert radians to km. (Recall that there are 27 radians in a full circle, 360°.) do

A shaft 5.0 cm in diameter and rotating at 2,400 rpm, comes to a full stop in 6.0 seconds. It slows down to 1200 rpm during the first 2.0 seconds and comes to a full stop at the end of the sixth second. The acceleration is constant during both segments of the motion. Determine: a.The total number of turns it completes during the 6.0 seconds it is slowing down, b.the distance traveled by a point on the rim of the shaft during this time, and c.the average acceleration during the first 2.0 seconds in rad/s2.
