The two objects in FIGURE EX12.29 are balanced on the pivot. What is distance ?

A 200 g, 40-cm-diameter turntable rotates on frictionless bearings at 60 rpm. A 20 g block sits at the center of the turntable. A compressed spring shoots the block radially outward along a frictionless groove in the surface of the turntable. What is the turntable’s rotation angular velocity when the block reaches the outer edge?
A 100g ball and a 200 g ball are connected by a , 30- cm long massless, rigid rod. The balls rotate about their center of mass at 120 rpm. What is the speed of the 100 g ball?
How fast, in rpm, would a diameter bowling ball have to spin to have an angular momentum of ?
