At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 3.16 m/s, and an 85.3-kg person feels a 546-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of a chamber?

A child on the ride, having mass 50 kg, moves in a horizontal circular path with 8 m radius. For the following questions (a-c), consider that the ride has started moving at a slow speed, and the rider is able to stand on the ground with her back not touching the wall. a. What is the most likely force (or combination of forces) that provides the centripetal force when the ride moves at low speed? b. The rider won’t feel as though she is being pushed toward the wall until the centripetal force is approximately equal to her weight. At what angular speed will this be the case? c. Based on your answers above, and using information that you can find in the book, do you think that the rider will be able to keep her back off the wall at the angular speed you found in part b?

- The Gravitron ride has people step in, lean against a wall and “stick” when it spins and the floor drops out after a certain velocity. A rider has a mass of 50kg. The coefficient of static friction of the body against a wall is 0.8. The diameter of the ride is 10m. What is the maximum period of the ride’s rotation that will keep the student pinned to the wall once the floor drops?arrow_forwardAt an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis.
