Chapter 7, Problem 7.5P
A wood mallet has a cylindrical head 6 in. long and 3 in. in diameter. If the cylindrical handle is 1 in. in diameter, how long must it be for the mallet to balance at a point 6 in. from where the handle enters the mallet head? (Assume the unit weight of the wood to be 40 lb/ft3.)

Calculate the center of mass of the 6 lb right angle bar assuming constant density.
Two shafts 12 feet between centers carry pulleys 4 feet and 3 feet in diameter respectively, connected by a crossed belt. It is desired to put the belt on as an open belt. How long a piece must be cut out of it?
Please Show a clear and detailed solution (with illustration). Thank you!
A shaft has three eccentric of mass I kg each. The central plane of the eccentrics is 50 mm apart. The distances of the centers from the axis of rotation are 20, 30 and 20 mm and their angular positions are 120 apart. If the shaft is balanced by adding two masses at a radius of 70 mm and at a distance 100 mm from the central plane of the middle eccentric, find the amount of the masses and their angular positions.
