A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large cylinder in which people stand against the wall of the ride as it rotates. At a certain point the floor of the cylinder lowers and the people are surprised that they don't slide down. Suppose the radius of the cylinder is r = 12 m, and the friction between the wall and their clothes is μ = 0.62. Consider the tangential speed v of the ride's occupants as the cylinder spins. a) What is the minimum speed, in meters per second, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will "stick" to the wall? Vmin = b) What is the frequency fin revolutions per minute of the carnival ride when it has reached the minimum speed to "stick" someone to the wall? f=
