A flat puck (mass M) is revolved in a circle on a frictionless air hockey table top, and is held in this orbit by a massless cord which is connected to a dangling mass (mass m) through a central hole as shown in Fig. 5–46. Show that the speed of the puck is given by v = VmgR/M. M-R FIGURE 5-46 Problem 68.

Two blocks, with masses mA and mB, are connected to each other and to a central post by thin rods as shown in Fig. 5-41. The blocks revolve about the post at the same frequency f (revolutions per second) on a frictionless horizontal surface at distances rA and rB from the post. Derive an algebraic expression for the tension in each rod.
Suppose you wish to whirl a pail full of water in a vertical circle at a constant speed without spilling any of its contents (even at the top of the circle!). If your arm is 0.65 m long (from shoulder to fist) and the distance from the handle to the surface of the water is 17 cm, what minimum speed is required?

In a television commercial, a small, spherical bead of mass 4.00 g is released from rest at t=0in a bottle of liquid shampoo. The terminal speed is observed to be 2.00 cm/s. Find (a) the value of the constant bin the equation v=mgb(1ebt/m), and (b) the value of the resistive force when the bead reaches terminal speed.
An amusement park ride consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away (Fig. P5.60). The coefficient of static friction between person and wall is s, and the radius of the cylinder is R. (a) Show that the maximum period of revolution necessary to keep the person from falling is T=(42Rs/g)1/2. (b) If the rate of revolution of the cylinder is made to be somewhat larger, what happens to the magnitude of each one of the forces acting on the person? What happens in the motion of the person? (c) If the rate of revolution of the cylinder is instead made to be somewhat smaller, what happens to the magnitude of each one of the forces acting on the person? What happens in the motion of the person?
