The value of g at any latitude
Which takes into account the effect of the rotation of the earth, as well as the fact that the earth is not truly spherical. Knowing that the weight of a silver bar has been officially designated as 5 Ib, determine to four significant figures, (a) the mass in slugs, (b) the weight in pounds at the latitudes of 0°, 45°, and 60°.

- A shaft is rotating at a uniform speed with four masses mı, m2, m3 and m4 of magnitudes 300 kg, 450kg, 360kg and 390 kg respectively. The masses are rotating in the same plane. The corresponding radii of rotation are 200mm, 150mm, 250mm and 300mm. The angles made by these masses with respect to horizontal are 0°, 45º, 120° and 255° respectively. 1) Check the magnitude and position of balance mass if it radius of rotation is 200mm, and 2) Evaluate the effect of adding the balance mass to the system.arrow_forwardFarmer John's tractor pulls a rope attached to a bale of hay through a pulley.
