A shaft with 3 meters span between two bearings carries two masses of 10 kg and 20 kg acting at the extremities of the arms 0.45 m and 0.6 m long respectively. The planes in which these masses rotate are 1.2 m and 2.4 m respectively from the left end bearing supporting the shaft. The angle between the arms is 60°. The speed of rotation of the shaft is 200 r.p.m. If the masses are balanced by two counter-masses rotating with the shaft acting at radii of 0.3 m and placed at 0.3 m from each bearing centers, estimate the magnitude of the two balance masses and their orientation with respect to the X-axis, i.e. mass of 10 kg ‎‏Note: It must be solved using the graphic method, not the equations method.

The motorcycle in the figure has a mass of m1 kg and its center of mass is at G1. The mass of the driver is m2 kg and the center of mass is at G2. Since there is μs between the wheels and the asphalt, determine whether it is possible for the driver to lift the front wheel off the ground. Neglect the mass of the wheels and assume that the front wheel can spin freely. a=0.41 m b= 0.39 m c= 0.75 m d= 0.25 m e=0.58 m m1=120 kg m2= 77 kg μs=0.82
5) In ice figure skating, a couple execute a “top” (see picture). The centre of mass of the woman (58 kg) is situated 1.3 m from the axis of rotation which is vertical and passes through the centre of mass of the man (85 kg). They are spinning at a constant angular velocity equal to 3.1415 rad/s and the man and woman have moments of inertia, about their own centres of mass, equal to 1.6 and 2.5 kg.m2 respectively. Then the woman grabs the neck of the man. At this point, her moment of inertia decreases to 1.4 kg.m2 and her body centre of gravity is 0.9 m from the axis of rotation. Determine the new angular velocity. Hints: This is a conservation of angular momentum problem, and needs the parallel axis theorem to determine moments of inertia about the axis of rotation. The skaters are moving as one body with one angular velocity, but they each have their own moments of inertia given relative to their own CoMs. For the man, that’s fine…the axis they’re rotating about passes through his…
