Question
One of the more challenging elements in pa
which the female figure skater, balanced on one skate, is spun in a circle by the male skater.
the "death spiral" (see the figure below), in
The axis of rotation of the pair is vertical and through the toe of the skate on the male skater's leg that is bent backward,
the toe being planted into the ice. During the one-armed maneuver first developed in the 1940s, the outstretched arm of
the male skater must apply a large force to support a significant fraction of the female skater's weight and also to provide
her centripetal acceleration. This force represents a danger to the structure of the wrist of the male skater.
(a) Modeling the female skater, of mass 54.0 kg, as a particle, and assuming that the combined length of the two
outstretched arms is 120 cm and that arms make an angle of 45.0° with the horizontal, what is the magnitude of the
force (in N) exerted by the male skater's wrist if each turn is completed in 2.00 s?
686.7
Visualize the rotation of the skaters, and the force exerted by the male skater's arm. How does this force relate to the
centripetal acceleration of the female skater? N
(b) How does this force compare to that on one wrist of a 70.0 kg person preparing to do chin-ups by hanging from an
exercise bar from the wrists?
F
male skater's wrist = 343
X
F
one wrist of 70.0 kg person
Visualize a person doing chin ups. When hanging straight down, how much of the person's weight is supported by
each wrist?
