A 320-lb satellite has a radius of gyration of 36 in. about the y-axis and is symmetric about the zx-plane. Its orientation is changed by firing four small rockets A, B, C, and D, each of which produces a 7-lb thrust force T directed as shown. Determine the angular acceleration of the satellite when all four rockets are fired. T B 32 in. x

3) These two steel wheels both have an outer radius of 1.0 m and a mass of 450 kg. Because of the way in which the mass is distributed, wheel A has a radius of gyration of 0.65 m and wheel B has a radius of gyration of 0.32 m (both about the center axis of the wheel). Wheel A: Wheel B: Each wheel is mounted on a separate shaft and a crate is lifted by winding a rope around the wheel. If a motor applies a moment of 200 N·m to the wheel, calculate how far will a 25-kg crate rise in 8.0 seconds for Wheel A, then Wheel B (assuming that all parts are at rest at t = 0).

The rigid body (slab) has a mass m and rotates with an angular velocity es about an axis passing through the fixed point 0. Show that the momenta of all the particles composing the body can be represented by a single vector having a magnitude mvg and acting through point P, called the center of percussion, which lies at a distance TPIG - ka/rajo from the mass center G. Here kg is the radius of gyration of the body, computed about an axis perpendicular to the plane of motion and passing through G.
