A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius 98 m and a moment of inertia of 5.01 x 108 kg-m2. A crew of 150 lives on the rim, and the station is rotating so that the crew experiences an apparent acceleration of 1 g. When 100 people move to the center of the station for a union meeting, the angular speed changes. What acceleration is experienced by the managers remaining at the rim? Assume that the average mass of each inhabitant is 65.0 kg. m/s?

Engineering Dynamics need help A ball of mass m is moving along a vertical semi-cylinder of radius R as it is guided by the arm OA. The arm moves in a clockwise direction with a constant angular velocity ω. Assume 0° ≤ Φ ≤ 90°. Neglect any friction. Neglect also the size of the ball and the thickness of the arm. Find the relationship between r, R and θ where r is the distance between O and the ball. Draw a free body diagram of the ball assuming that it is in contact with the cylinder and the arm OA. Write the equations of motion in the (r, θ) coordinate system. Find the normal force acting on the ball by the cylinder for Φ = Φ0. Find the normal force acting on the ball by the bar for Φ = Φ0.
