Determine the Mass Moment of Inertia with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis, p= 8050 kg/m³ 40 mm 20 mm- 80 mm 40 mm -20 mm 60 mm 45mm
a. Set up the equations of motion that is required to solve the problem.  b. Determine the magnitude of W in the figure so that the 200 lb. body will have an acceleration up the plane of 4.025 fps^2
If an object is near the surface of the earth, the variation of its weight with distance from the center of the earth can often be neglected. The acceleration due to gravity at sea level is g = 9.81 m/s². The radius of the earth is 6370 km. The weight of an object at sea level is mg, where m is its mass. At what height above the earth does the weight of the object decrease to 0.985 mg? Express your final answer in 3 decimals and unit is km.
