Question
The "Giant Swing" 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 5.00 mm long, the upper end of the cable being fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 mm from the central shaft. (Figure 1).
a) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of 30.0∘30.0∘ with the vertical.
b) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?

Four forces are acting on it as shown in the figure. Their magnitudes are F1 = 6.5 N, F2 = 3.5 N, F3 = 15 N and F4 = 16.5 N. F2 acts a distance d = 0.22 m from the center of mass. Calculate the magnitude τ1 of the torque due to force F1, in newton meters. Calculate the magnitude τ2 of the torque due to force F2 in newton meters. Calculate the magnitude τ3 of the torque due to force F3 in newton meters. Calculate the magnitude τ4 of the torque due to force F4 in newton meters. Calculate the angular acceleration α of the thin rod about its center of mass in radians per square second. Let the counter-clockwise direction be positive.arrow_forward
