A variation of the amusement park ride discussed in Problem 11 is the Gravitron, which consists of a rotating cylinder, where riders stand with their backs against the inner surface of the cylinder (see image). As the cylinder rotates faster, riders get stuck to the wall. The effect is great enough, that in some rides, the floor even drops away. Let’s model the Gravitron as a rotating cylinder with vertical walls. The radius of the cylinder is 5.5 m. At one point during the ride, the speed of the Gravitron is 24 rpm, at which point a rider slides down the wall at constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rider and the wall?
A cylindrical container of radius ? and height ? is partially filled with a liquid whose volume is ?. If the container is rotated about its axis of symmetry with constant angular speed ? , then the container will induce a rotational motion in the liquid around the same axis. Eventually, the liquid will be rotating at the same angular speed as the container. The surface of the liquid will be convex, as indicated in the figure, because the centrifugal force on the liquid particles increases with the distance from the axis of the container. It can be shown that the surface of the liquid is a paraboloid of revolution generated by rotating the parabola about the
