diameter,
its radius of
gyration
is 6
ft.,
and
its
weight
is 8 tons. A
cage weighing

A
shearing
machine
has 3
h.p.
delivered to it
by
the belt.
Every
two
seconds
an
operation
occurs
which
requires seven-eighths
of
all the
energy
supplied
during
the
two
seconds;
the
other
one-eighth
of the
energy
is
required
to overcome
the
friction
of the
machine.
During
each
operation
the
speed
of the
flywheel
decreases
from 120

that
the

done
in
