    a total mass of 6kg and a combined radius of gyration of 90mm. A cord is attached as
    shown and pulled with a force P of magnitude 20N. Knowing that the disk rolls without
    sliding, determine, [2 Marks]

    motion.

    power are cut off. The 50-kg rotor, which has a centroidal radius of gyration of 23 cm,
    then coasts to rest. Knowing that the kinetic friction of the rotor produces a couple of
    magnitude 3.4 Nm, determine the number of revolutions that the rotor executes before
    coming to rest. [2 Marks]

    k = 400 N/m and of unscratched length 150 mm is attached to the rod as shown.
    Knowing that the rod is released from rest in the position shown, determine its angular
    velocity after it has rotated through 90°. [2 Marks]
