A ceiling fan consists of a small cylindrical disk with five
fan blades emerging from the disk's center. The disk has
mass m_(d)=3.10kg and radius R=0.270m. The blades
each have mass m_(b)=1.20kg and length L=0.800m,
I_(b)=uarr,|kg*m^(2)
measured from the center of the disk.
Model each fan blade as a thin rod.
