In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 16-m-diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown in FIGURE P8.51.
a. Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.5 s. If a rider鈥檚 mass is 55 kg, with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride? At the bottom?
b. What is the longest rotation period of the wheel that will prevent the riders from falling off at the top?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Ring push on her at the top of the ride with force Ttop= 0.32 kN and at the bottom Tbottom =1.4 KN

b) Longest rotation period of the wheel that will prevent the riders from falling off at top is T= 5.67 sec.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information

Given that ring rotates once every 4.5 s.

And mass of rider is 55 kg

Diameter of ring = 16 m

02

Part(a) Step2: Explanation

First draw free body diagram and the equate forces

From the diagram we can get

TTop=mv2r-mg........................(1)TBottom=mv2r+mg........................(2)

We can find v by using v=蝇 r

We have period as 4.5 s So

=2T

And v=2rT=(23.14)(8m)4.5s=11.17m/s

Now substitute the given values in equation (1) and (2)

role="math" localid="1649077252870" TTop=(55kg)(11.17m/s)28m-(55kg)(9.8m/s2)=318.24N=0.32N

Similarly

TTop=(55kg)(11.17m/s)28m+(55kg)(9.8m/s2)=1397.34N=1.4KN

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

Given that ring rotates once every 4.5 s.

Mass of rider = 55 kg

Diameter of ring = 16 m

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

We have calculated velocity = 11.17 m/s

For longest rotation period prevent riders to fall means resultant force is zero

mv2r-mg=0v=rg

Substitute the values given we get

v=(8m)(9.8m/s2)=8.86m/s

We know

T=2rv

Substitute values we get

T=(28)8.86=5.67s

The normal force equals the magnitude of the gravitational force as a roller coaster car crosses the top of a 40-mdiameter loop-the-loop. What is the car鈥檚 speed at the top?

A 55kg astronaut who weighs 180N on a distant planet is pondering whether she can leap over a3.5-m-wide chasm without falling in. If she leaps at a 15 angle, what initial speed does she need to clear the chasm?

The physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch
what鈥檚 happening, you鈥檒l see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot as you bring your rear foot forward for the next step. As you do so, the normal force of the
ground on your foot decreases and your body tries to 鈥渓ift off鈥 from the ground.
a. A person鈥檚 center of mass is very near the hips, at the top of the legs. Model a person as a particle of mass m at the top of a leg of length L. Find an expression for the person鈥檚 maximum walking speed vmax.
b. Evaluate your expression for the maximum walking speed of a 70 kg person with a typical leg length of 70 cm. Give your answer in both m/s and mph, then comment, based on your
experience, as to whether this is a reasonable result. A 鈥渘ormal鈥 walking speed is about 3 mph.
