Chapter 6, Problem 59GP
Spin-Dry Dragonflies Some dragonflies splash down onto the surface of a lake to clean themselves. After this dunking, the dragonflies gain altitude and then spin rapidly at about 1000 rpm to spray the water off their bodies. When the dragonflies do this “spin-dry,” they tuck themselves into a “ball”. If they spin with a linear speed of 2.3 m/s, and curl into a ball with a radius of 1.1 cm, what is the centripetal acceleration they produce?

BIO Bubble Net Fishing Humpback whales sometimes catch fish by swimming rapidly in a circle, blowing a curtain of bubbles that confuses a school of fish and traps it in a small area, where the whales can easily catch and eat them. Suppose a 28,000-kg humpback whale swims at 2.2 m/s in a circle of radius 8.5 m. What centripetal force must the whale generate?
Braving the Rotor at the Amusement Park (Circular Motion Due to Normal Force)
The Rotor is an amusement park ride where people stand against the inside of a spinning cylinder, as shown below.
Once the cylinder is spinning at a certain speed, the floor drops out of the bottom of the cylinder but the people do
not fall out of the bottom. A conservative low estimate of the coefficient of static friction between people's clothes
and the cylinder wall is 0.45. The radius of the cylinder is 2.4 m. What is the minimum number of rpm that the
cylinder can have so that the people do not fall out the bottom? (answer: 29 rpm)
Divers go off the diving board and balls up their body as they do a flip. Divers spin faster than if they try to flip their body without balling up. Divers spin faster with their body balling up because of
a. Less effect of air drag on their body. Air drag slows down the motion
b. Conservation of linear momentum
c. Conservation of angular momentum (radius decreases so speed increases)
d. Conservation of angular momentum (radius increases so speed increases)

- You are working during your summer break as an amusement park ride operator. The ride you are controlling consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away (Fig. P6.7). The coefficient of static friction between a person of mass m and the wall is s, and the radius of the cylinder is R. You are rotating the ride with an angular speed suggested by your supervisor. (a) Suppose a very heavy person enters the ride. Do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall? (b) Suppose someone enters the ride wearing a very slippery satin workout outfit. In this case, do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall? Figure P6.7arrow_forwardCasting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute. Figure P7.62arrow_forwardA particle of dust lands 45.0 mm from the center of a compact disc (CD) that is 120 mm in diameter.
