- Q2. In a spring loaded governor of the Hartnell type, the mass of each ball is 5 kg and the lift of the sleeve is 50 mm. The speed at which the governor begins to float is 240 rpm, and at this speed the radius of the ball path is 110 mm. The mean working speed of the governor is 20 times the range of speed when friction is neglected. If the lengths of ball and roller arm of the bell crank lever are 120 mm and 100 mm respectively.

- Problem 7.06. Describe, using the concept of static equilibrium, how you could determine an unknown mass for a given object using just string/rope, a meter stick (or yard stick) and standard weights (e.g. a 20 lb weight). Write a mathematical expression for the mass of the object using the standard weight W, gravitational acceleration g, and any measured distances with the meter stick R₁, R2, ..., Rn.arrow_forward(e) Two blocks X and Y are connected by a light and inextensible string as shown in the figure below. The string passes over a light and smooth pulley. Block Y has a larger mass than block X. Assuming that the friction between block Y and the inclined plane is negligible, describe and explain the motion of the two blocks when the blocks are released. 30 degarrow_forwardFor a technology project, a student has built a vehicle, of total mass 6.00 kg, that moves itself. As shown, it runs on four light wheels. A reel is attached to one of the axles, and a cord originally wound on the reel goes up over a pulley attached to the vehicle to support an elevated load. After the vehicle is released from rest, the load descends very slowly, unwinding the cord to turn the axle and make the vehicle move forward (to the left as shown). Friction is negligible in the pulley and axle bearings. The wheels do not slip on the floor. The reel has been constructed with a conical shape so that the load descends at a constant low speed while the vehicle moves horizontally across the floor with constant acceleration, reaching a final velocity of 3.00î m/s.
