A B. C R An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical wheel of radius R that rotates counterclockwise on a horizontal axis through its center, as shown above. The cars on the wheel move at a constant speed v. Points A and D represent the position of a car at the highest and lowest point of the ride, respectively. A person of weight Fg sits upright on a seat in one of the cars. As the seat passes point A, the seat exerts a normal force with magnitude 0.8Fg on the person. While passing point A, the person releases a small rock of mass m, which falls to the ground without hitting anything.

Part of riding a bicycle involves leaning at the correct angle when making a turn, as seen below. To be stable, the force exerted by the ground must be on a line going through the center of gravity. The force on the bicycle wheel can be resolved into two perpendicular components—friction parallel to the road (this must supply the centripetal force) and the vertical normal force (which must equal the system’s weight). (a) Show that (as defined as shown) is related to the speed vand radius of curvature rof the turn in the same way as for an ideally banked roadway—that is, =tan1(v2/rg) . (b) Calculate for a 12.0-m/s turn of radius 30.0 m (as in a race).
