Two small objects of mass mo and a rotating platform of radius R and rotational inertia Ip about its center compose a single system. Students use the system to conduct two experiments. The objects are assumed to be point masses.

Step 1
We have a rotating platform with a rotational inertia \(I_p\) and two small objects, each with mass \(m_o\), that can be considered point masses. The platform has a radius \(R\). Show more…

Two point masses are the same distance R from an axis of rotation and have moments of inertia IA and IB. (a) If IB = 16IA, what is the ratio mB/ mA of the two masses? (b) In terms of R, at what distance from the axis of rotation should mass A be placed so that IA = IB?
