- A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 10.0m and makes one revolution in 8.00 seconds. A girl weighing 321 N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel.

The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before it skids off the track. From these data, determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and track. 0.56 You appear to have forgotten that the static force of friction is also responsible for the tangential acceleration of the car.arrow_forwardOne end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.500-kg object is attached to theother end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 2.00 m as shown.
