A carnival ride called the Hammerhead consists of a small gondola with people inside (total mass = 300 kg.) The gondola is attached to a rigid rotating arm. The arm is rotating at an angular velocity of 3.00 radians/second. The arm has a radius r= 2.90 meters. Find the tension in the arm when the angle 0 = 65° from the horizontal, as shown. Be sure to take the weight of the gondola into account.

In testing an automobile tire for proper alignment, a technicianmarks a spot on the tire 0.200 m from the center. He then mountsthe tire in a vertical plane and notes that the radius vector to thespot is at an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal.

What is the tangential speed of the spot after 4.00 s? c. What is the magnitude of the total accleration of the spot after 4.00 s?" d. What is the angular position of the spot after 4.00 s?
A wheel 2.00 m in diameter lies in a vertical plane and rotates about its central axis with a constant angular acceleration of 4.00 rad/s2. The wheel starts at rest at t = 0, and the radius vector of a certain point P on the rim makes an angle of 57.3 with the horizontal at this time. At t = 2.00 s, find (a) the angular speed of the wheel and, for point P, (b) the tangential speed, (c) the total acceleration, and (d) the angular position.
A disk 8.00 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1200 rev/min about its central axis. Determine (a) its angular speed in radians per second, (b) the tangential speed at a point 3.00 cm from its center, (c) the radial acceleration of a point on the rim, and (d) the total distance a point on the rim moves in 2.00 s.
Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.
A point on the rim of a rotating flywheels changes its speed from 1.5 m/sec. to 9.0 m/sec. while it moves 60m. If the radius of the wheel is 1.0m, what are the normal, tangential and absolute accelerations at the instant when the speed is 6.0 m/sec.?

The coordinate axes shown represent the principal centroidal axes of inertia of a 3000-lb space probe whose radii of gyration are kx = 1.375 ft,ky = 1.425 ft, and Kz = 1.250 ft. The probe has no angular velocity when a 5-oz meteorite strikes one of its solar panels at point A with a velocity v0 = (2400 ft/s)i- (3000 ft/s)j + (3200 ft/s)k relative to the probe. Knowing that the meteorite emerges on the other side of the panel with no change in the direction of its velocity, but with a speed reduced by 20 percent, determine the final angular velocity of the probe.
