Question
Please write the units
A variation of the amusement park ride discussed in Problem 11 is the Gravitron, which consists of a rotating
cylinder, where riders stand with their backs against the inner surface of the cylinder (see image). As the
cylinder rotates faster, riders get stuck to the wall. The effect is great enough, that in some rides, the floor
even drops away. Let's model the Gravitron as a rotating cylinder with vertical walls. The radius of the
cylinder is 5.5 m. At one point during the ride, the speed of the Gravitron is 24 rpm, at which point a rider
slides down the wall at constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rider and the
wall?
