- A certain amusement park ride consists of a large rotating cylinder of radius R = 3.15 m. As the cylinder spins, riders inside feel themselves pressed against the wall. If the cylinder rotates fast enough, the frictional force between the riders and the wall can be great enough to hold the riders in place as the floor drops out from under them. If the cylinder makes f 0.590 rotations/s, what is the magnitude of the normal force FN between a rider and the wall, expressed in terms of the rider's weight W? FN = W What is the minimum coefficient of static friction u, required between the rider and the wall in order for the rider to be held in place without sliding down?

A penny is placed at the outer edge of a disk (radius= 0.183 m) that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center. The period of the rotation is 1.87 s. Find the minimum coefficient of friction necessary to allow the penny to rotate along with the disk. Hs = Number i Unitsarrow_forwardYou are in a carnival ride that consists of a circular room that spins around its center. You stand against the wall at the edge of the room. The room spins at a constant rate of one revolution every 5 seconds, and the room has a radius of 5 m. Your mass is 70 kg. After the room reaches it final speed, the floor drops out from beneath you, yet you remain stuck to the wall. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on you by the wall, and at what rate (power) does the normal force perform work on you? (Please explain the power that the normal force does work in detail.)arrow_forward

The pulley is a uniform disk (Idisk=MR?), with mass M = 3 kg and radius R = 20 cm. When the block is released and the cord unwinds, the acceleration of the blocks ( in m/s) is: marrow_forwardA puck of mass m1 is tied to a string and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius R on a frictionless, horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a small hole in the center of the table, and an object of mass m2 is tied to it (as shown). The suspended object remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves.

- Vlad needs to draw water from a deep well. He is using a bucket that is connected by rope (negligible mass) to a wooden axle at the top of the well. By cranking a handle at the end of the axle, Vlad is able to unwind the rope around the axle and move the bucket downward. The radius of the axle is R = 30 cm. The bucket is traveling downward at speed vi = 25 cm/s when the handle slips out of Vlad’s hand. As the rope unwinds and the bucket falls downward, the axle spins freely with an angular acceleration whose magnitude is α = 4.5 rad/s^2. The bucket falls through a distance of d = 7.0 m before crashing into the water. 1. What is the angular speed ωf of the axle when the bucket first hits the water? 2. As d → 0, what limit does ωf approach and why?arrow_forwardA weight of mass m1 = 45 kg slides at a constant speed v = 1 m/s in a circle of radius r = 0.65 m on a table as shown on the left. The force of friction is just enough to keep the weight from sliding in towards the center of the table. The weight is attached to a string which hangs down through a hole in the middle of the table; from the other end of the string hangs a cylinder of mass m2 = 17 kg. a) What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed to keep the hanging mass from moving downwards? b) What would be the maximum velocity the weight could have with that same coefficient of friction?arrow_forwardplease answer letter d and earrow_forward
