1) Examine the centrifuge device shown below in Figure 1. It is a device that various agencies use to test the effects of high "g forces" on combat pilots in the military. It can be modeled as two solid spheres attached to a thin rigid rod shown in figure 2. Given the information shown on the figure, calculate the following: a) The rotational inertia of the centrifuge about the axis shown. b) The kinetic energy of the centrifuge if the center of the large sphere on the end is moving with a velocity of 7 m/s. The required linear speed of the large sphere if the amount of centripetal forces (g - forces) on a pilot in the large sphere sitting at the center is 10 g's UFR CENTREFOR 20 miri m2,L Ima axis of rotation m3,13 Fred Tically locke m = 400 kg, r = 2.1 m m2 = 700 kg, L = 11 m m3 = 1300 kg, r=0.6 m The axis is 2/3 of the way down the length of the horizontal rod in the middle. 1) Examine the centrifuge device shown below in Figure 1.
