http://www.mech.uq.edu.au/courses/mech2210/yat/q/governor.jpg A flyball governor is a device used to regulate the speed of steam turbines in steam power plants. The rotation of the shaft causes the two balls move outward. As the balls move out, they pull on the bearing A. The position of the...

Homework Statement Collar B has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a spring of constant 1500 N/m and of undeformed length 0.4 m. The system is set in motion with r = 0.2 m, v_theta = 6 m/s, and v_r = 0. Neglecting the mass of the rod and the effect of friction, determine the radial and...

Homework Statement k = 40 N/m mass of slider = 200 g EDIT r = 0.3 m Hoop is VERTICAL, undeformed length of the spring is when spring is in position AB, slider NOT attached to spring. Find smallest value for theta such that the slider will pass through D and reach A (see picture). Homework...

If the slider along the smoth guide (i.e., no friction) on the horisontal plane has the speed 1.4m/s at A, what force F will the guide exert on the slider at point B? The weight of the slide is 0.12kg http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/750/slider4lo.png I'm able to calculate F at A = mg =...
