A supertanker uses a windlass (a type of winch) like the one shown in the figure below to hoist its 16,000-kg anchor. Determine the force that must be exerted on the outside wheel to lift the anchor at constant speed, neglecting friction and assuming the anchor is out of the water. ro = 0.45 m r; = 1.5 m

Part of riding a bicycle involves leaning at the correct angle when making a turn, as seen in Figure 6.36. 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 in the figure) is related to the speed v and radius of curvature r of the turn in the same way as for an ideally banked roadway—that is, =tan1v2/rg (b) Calculate for a 12.0 m/s turn of radius 30.0 m (as in a race). Figure 6.36 A bicyclist negotiating a turn on level ground must lean at the correct angle—the ability to do this becomes instinctive. The force of the ground on the wheel needs to be on a line through the center of gravity. The net external force on the system is the centripetal force. The vertical component of the force on the wheel cancels the weight of the system while its horizontal component must supply the centripetal force. This process produces a relationship among the angle , the speed v, and the radius of curvature r of the turn similar to that for the ideal banking of roadways.
A space station, in the form of a wheel 120 m in diameter, rotates to provide an artificial gravity of 3.00 m/s2 for persons who walk around on the inner wall of the outer rim. Find the rate of the wheels rotation in revolutions per minute that will produce this effect.
Casting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute. Figure P7.62
The device shown in the figure below is one version of a Russell traction apparatus. It has two functions: to support the injured leg horizontally and at the same time provide a horizontal traction force on it. This can be done by adjusting the weight W and the angle θ. For this patient, his leg (including his foot) is 90.0 cm long (measured from the hip joint) and has a mass of 11.4 kg. Its center of mass is 41.0 cm from the hip joint. A support strap is attached to the patient's ankle 13.0 cm from the bottom of his foot. 1) What weight W is needed to support the leg horizontally? Express your answer in newtons. 2) If the therapist specifies that the traction force must be 16.0 N horizontally, what must be the angle θ? Express your answer in degrees. 3) What is the greatest traction force that this apparatus could supply to this patient's leg? Express your answer in newtons. 4) What is θ in that case? Express your answer in degrees.
