TW6 bločks, which can be modeled as point masses, are connected by a massless string which passes through a hole in a frictionless table. A tube extends out of the hole in he table so that the portion of the string between the hole and M1 remains parallel to the top of the cable. The blocks have masses M1 = 1.2 kg and M2 = 2.4 kg. Block 1 is a distance r = 0.25 m from he center of the frictionless surface. Block 2 hangs vertically underneath. M, M,

D mp M, Two planets orbit each other in stable circular orbits at a distance D = 7.06 × 10' km. The planets have masses m, 8.85 x 1024 kg and Mp 6.70 x 10º kg. The center of the lower mass planet, m,, is at the origin. How far along the line joining the two planets is the center of mass of the system? COM km Note: You can treat spherical bodies as point masses with all the mass at the center of the sphere. When solving this question, you can assume that all the mass m, is at the origin and all the mass Mp is a distance D away. Part 3) The planets both travel in circular orbits around this center of mass. Use this to calculate the speed of the lower mass planet, m,. Up m/s

At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 2.75 m/s, and an 86.0-kg person feels a 253-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of a chamber?
