A salad spinner is used to dry lettuce that has been recently washed. For the salad spinners to operate properly, the lettuce should be evenly distributed in the basket of the salad spinner. Otherwise, after you spin the basket and remove your hand, the salad spinner will wobble and slip on the kitchen counter.

You’re curious how unbalanced your salad spinner can be before it starts to slip on the counter.

You measure the dimensions of your salad spinner and determine that the basket has a diameter of 28.6 cm and a height of 18.7 cm

You place the salad spinner on a kitchen scale and determine that the mass of the salad spinner is 379 g

The bottom of the salad spinner is rubberized. Consulting friction coefficient tables, you estimate that the coefficient of friction between the bottom of the salad spinner and your kitchen counter is 0.70 .

You search online for information about the rotational speed of your spinner. You come across a journal article about students at Rice University who modified a salad spinner to create an inexpensive medical centrifuge to diagnose anemia in remote or low-resource areas. The article states that the maximum rotational speed of their salad spinner is 600 rpm. Your salad spinner is similar to the one featured in the article.

Suppose you place some lettuce into one side of the basket, pump the salad spinner until the basket is spinning at top speed and then remove your hand. What is the maximum amount of lettuce (in grams) that can be in the basket such that the salad spinner does not slip when you remove your hand?

Acylindrical specimen of a nickel alloy having an elastic modulus of 207 gpa (30 × 106psi) and an original diameter of 10.2 mm (0.40 in.) experiences only elastic deformation when a tensile load of 8900 n (2000 lbf) is applied. compute the maximum length of the specimen before deformation if the maximum allowable elongation is 0.25 mm (0.010 in.)

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 740 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of theta= 26 with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is uk = 0.17. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. the block's initial mechanical energy is 9.472 j.b. if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance l in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
