In testing an automobile tire for proper alignment, a technician marks a spot on the tire 0.200 m from the center. He then mounts the tire in a vertical plane and notes that the radius vector to the spot is at an angle of 35.0° with the horizontal. Starting from rest, the tire is spun rapidly with a constant
