(Figure 1) In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 3.0-m-tall, 5.0-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient in the range 0.40 to 0.70.

7. A car is right on the verge of sliding as it speeds around a level circular track. The radius of the circular track is 21 m, and the coefficient of static friction between the car's tires and the track is 0.7, while the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56. What is the speed of the car?
Problem 2: Princess Peach is competing in a Mario Kart race on Rainbow Road. Rainbow Road has no rails, so Peach has to be careful taking turns to make sure she doesn't fall off. There is a notoriously difficult turn on the track made up of a portion of a circle 120m in diameter. The road is angled at 30°. The track has a friction coefficient of μ = .40. Given that Peach and the car weigh 800 kg. a) Draw a free-body diagram for the car on the road. b) What is the magnitude of the normal force, and what angle does it make with the horizontal? c) Repeat part b for the the friction force d) How fast can Peach take the turn without flying or falling off the track?

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 3.90 m diameter hollow steel cylinder with the backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide.
