An object of mass m = 5.0 kg undergoes uniform circular motion in the r-y plane. The radius of its circular motion is R = 2.0 m. From the view shown in the diagram, it circles in the clockwise sense. At a certain moment the velocity of the object is T = (-3.0,0,0) m/s. +y (a) At that same moment, what is the net force (a vector) on the object? Calculate a numerical value and put your vector answer in component form. How much time does it take the object to complete eight-and-a-half revolu- (b) tions?

A sample of blood is placed in a centrifuge of radius 11.0 cm. The mass of a red blood cell is 3.0 ✕ 10−16 kg, and the magnitude of the force acting on it as it settles out of the plasma is 4.0 ✕ 10−11 N. At how many revolutions per second should the centrifuge be operated?
In the figure, a rectangular slab of slate rests on a bedrock surface inclined at angle 8 = 22.8°. The slab has length L = 48.9 m, thickness T = 6.61 m, and width W = 12.7 m, and 1.0 cm³ of it has a mass of 3.2 g. The coefficient of static friction between slab and bedrock is 0.312. (a) Calculate the component of the gravitational force on the slab parallel to the bedrock surface. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the static frictional force on the slab. By comparing (a) and (b), you can see that the slab is in danger of sliding. This is prevented only by chance protrusions of bedrock. (c) To stabilize the slab, bolts are to be driven perpendicular to the bedrock surface (two bolts are shown). If each bolt has a cross-sectional area of 6.47 cm² and will snap under a shearing stress of 3.59 x 108 N/m², what is the minimum number of bolts needed? Assume that the bolts do not affect the normal force.
