The 鈥淕iant Swing鈥 at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end. Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00m long, and the upper end of the cable is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00m from the central shaft (Fig. E5.50). (a) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of30.0 with the vertical. (b) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) 5.91

(b)Angle does not depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Cable length isl = 5

Theupper end of the cable is fastened to the arm at a point d = 3.00m from the central shaft

02

Significance of centripetal force and centrifugal force

The force applied to an item in curved motion that is pointed toward the axis of rotation or the centre of curvature is known as a centripetal force.

A fictitious force that moves in a circle and is directed away from the centre of the circle is called centrifugal force.

Fc=mv2rormr2

Where, m is mass of body, v is velocity of body, r is radius of circular path and the is angular speed

03

(a) Determining the time of one revolution of the swing

Equating the vertical forces

Tsin60=mg 鈥(颈)

Equating the horizontal forces

Tcos60=Fc=mr2 鈥(颈颈)

Dividing of equation (i) by the equation of (ii)

tan60=gr2=grtan60 鈥(颈颈颈)

Where is radius of curvature and it is given as

r=d+lsin30=3m+5msin30=5.5m

Substitute all values in the equation (iii)

=9.8m/s25mtan60=1.063rad/s
Time of one revolution is given by

t=2

Substitute the value to get time

t=21.063rad/s=5.91s

Hence the time of one revolution of the swing is5.91 s

04

(b) Determining whether the angle depend on the weight of the passenger or not for a given rate of revolution

Equation (iii) is given as

tan60=gr2

From the above equation here we can see that the term of mass is not present so that we can say that the angle does not depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution

How many gallons of gasoline are used in the United States in one day? Assume that there are two cars for every three people, that each car is driven an average of 10,000 miles per year, and that the average car gets 20 miles per gallon.

A cylindrical bucket, open at the top, is 25.0 cm high and 10.0 cm in diameter. A circular hole with a cross-sectional area 1.50 cm2 is cut in the center of the bottom of the bucket. Water flows into the bucket from a tube above it at the rate of 2.40 x 10-4m3/s. How high will the water in the bucket rise?

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars鈥檚 orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun鈥揗ars line and a sun鈥揺arth line be? Use

Appendix F.

Two identical stars with mass Morbit around their center of mass. Each orbit is circular and has radiusR, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) Find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) Find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) How much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?
