Concept explainers
A satellite has a total weight (on Earth) of 250 lbs, and each of the solar panels weighs 15 lbs. The body of the satellite has a mass moment of inertia about the z axis of 6 slug·ft2, and the panels can be modeled as flat plates. The satellite spins with a rate of 10 rpm about the z axis when the solar panels are positioned in the xy plane. Determine the spin rate about z after a motor on the satellite has rotated both panels to be positioned in the yz plane (as shown in the figure).

- A spinning top consists of a ring (which can be treated as a cylindrical shell) of mass m = 0.52 kg and a radius of 60 mm is mounted on its central pointed shaft with spokes. The spokes and pointed shaft have negligible mass meaning that their inertia can be neglected. The top has a spin velocity of 10,000 rev/min and is released on a horizontal surface with the point at O remaining at a fixed point. Assuming that the spin angular velocity is high when compared to the precession, determine the magnitude of the precession angular velocity of the top. 15° 60 mm 80 mm 10000 rev/minarrow_forwardHW1 A uniform disc of 220 mm in diameter has a mass of 3.5 kg.
