A bicyclist travels in a circle of radius 25.0 mat a constant speed of 9.00 m/s. The bicycle鈥搑ider mass is 85.0 kg. Calculate the magnitudes of

(a) the force of friction on the bicycle from the road and

(b) the netforce on the bicycle from the road.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The force of friction on the bicycle from the road is 275 N.
  2. The net force is 877 N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Radius of the circle: R = 25.0 m.
  • Velocity of the bicycle: v = 9.00 m/s.
  • Mass of bicycle-rider: m = 85.0 kg.
02

Understanding the concept

It is the force of friction that provides the centripetal force required for circular motion. The free-body diagram is shown below. The magnitude of the acceleration of the cyclist as it moves along the horizontal circular path is given byv2R, where v is the speed of the cyclist and R is the radius of the curve.

Formula:

fs=mv2R

03

Draw the free body diagram and write force equations

The horizontal component of Newton鈥檚 second law is fs=mv2R, where fsis the static friction exerted horizontally by the ground on the tires.

Similarly, FNif is the vertical force of the ground on the bicycle and m is the mass of the bicycle and rider, the vertical component of Newton鈥檚 second law leads to FN=mg=859.8=833N.

04

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the force of friction on the bicycle from the road

Force of friction on the bicycle from the road:

fs=mv2R

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

role="math" localid="1660976789922" fs=85.0kg9.00m/s225.0mfs=275.4N275

Thus, the force of friction on the bicycle from the road is 275 N.

05

(b) Calculate the magnitude of the net force on the bicycle from the road

Since the frictional force fsand the normal force exerted by the road FNare perpendicular to each other, the magnitude of the force exerted by the ground on the bicycle is,

F=fs2+FN2

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

F=2752+8332F=877N

The force exerted by the ground on the bicycle F is at an angle:

=tan-1275N833N=18.3

It will make an 18.3-degree angle with respect to the vertical axis.

Thus, the net force is 877 N.

In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the opposite side (Fig. 6-21). Sincosky鈥檚 mass was 79kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky鈥檚 grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt)
