A motor of mass 18 kg is supported by four springs, each of constant 40kN/m. The motor is constrained to move vertically, and the amplitude of its motion is observed to be 1.5 mm at a speed of 1200 rpm. Knowing that the mass of the rotor is 4 kg, determine the distance between the mass center of the rotor and the axis of the shaft.

The controller of a school district had recorded the entire property tax levy, $20,000,000, as revenues when levied during the first month of the year. At year-end the auditor states that $3,000,000 must be reclassified as deferred revenues because that amount of the property tax levy will not be...
