In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a5.0m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly

drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will 鈥渟tick鈥 to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.60to 1.0and a kinetic coefficient in the range0.40to 0.70.A sign next to the entrance says 鈥淣o children under 30kgallowed.鈥 What is the minimum angular speed, in rpm, for which the ride is safe?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The minimum angular speed is24rpm

Step by step solution

01

Given information

diameter of cylinder d=5m

mass m=30kg

static coefficient of frictions,min=0.60;s,max=1.0

kinetic coefficient of frictionk,min=0.40;k,max=0.70

02

calculation of minimum angular speed

The force of static friction must be no lower than the weight of the person.

The normal force that cylinder wall applies to person is equal to the centripetal force and it is given by, N=mV2r

The friction force that keeps the person from sliding down is given by,ff=sN

The weight of the person is given by FG=mg

When the net force is zero, we got,

role="math" localid="1649596502522" ff=FGsN=mgsmV2r=mgV=rgs(I)

Use the lowest coefficient of static friction in the above equation (I), to get the minimum speed.

Vmin=rgs,min=2.59.810.60=6.39m/s

The minimum angular speed is given by,min=Vminr=6.392.5=2.6rad/s=2.69.5493(rpm)=24rpm

An 85,000kg stunt plane performs a loop-the-loop, flying in a 260-m-diameter vertical circle. At the point where the plane is flying straight down, its speed is 55m/sand it is speeding up at a rate of 12m/sper second.

a. What is the magnitude of the net force on the plane? You can neglect air resistance.

b. What angle does the net force make with the horizontal? Let an angle above horizontal be positive and an angle below horizontal be negative.

The father of Example 8.2 stands at the summit of a conical hill as he spins his 20 kg child around on a 5.0 kg cart with a 2.0-m-long rope. The sides of the hill are inclined at 20o颅. He
again keeps the rope parallel to the ground, and friction is negligible. What rope tension will allow the cart to spin with the same 14 rpm it had in the example?

A 100 g ball on a 60-cm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cm above the floor. The string suddenly breaks when it is parallel to the ground and the ball is moving
upward. The ball reaches a height 600 cm above the floor. What was the tension in the string an instant before it broke?
