A ride in a form of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis. When it spins fast enough, persons inside are held up against the wall and the floor drops away. The static coefficient of friction is 0.7. The radius of the tank, R, is 5m. Find the minimum angular velocity necessary to keep the person from falling.
Angular speed, acceleration and displacement
Angular acceleration is defined as the rate of change in angular velocity with respect to time. It has both magnitude and direction. So, it is a vector quantity.
Angular Position
Before diving into angular position, one should understand the basics of position and its importance along with usage in day-to-day life. When one talks of position, it’s always relative with respect to some other object. For example, position of earth with respect to sun, position of school with respect to house, etc. Angular position is the rotational analogue of linear position.
