A 4.00−kg mass and a 3.00−kg mass are attached to opposite ends of a very light 42.0 - cm-long horizontal rod (Fig.). The system is rotating at angular speed ω = 5.60 rad/s about a vertical axle at the center of the rod. Determine (a) the kinetic energy KE of the system, and (b) the net force on each mass.

A 4.00 k g mass and a 3.00 k g mass are attached to opposite ends of a very light 42.0 - cm-long horizontal rod (Fig. ). The system is rotating at angular speed ω = 5.60 r a d / s about a vertical axle at the center of the rod. Determine (a) the kinetic energy K E of the system, and (b) the net force on each mass.
