A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P5.59. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle θ that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical. (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If ? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle’s rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a). (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem. Figure P5.59
The “mean” orbital radius listed for astronomical objects orbiting the Sun is typically not an integrated average but is calculated such that it gives the correct period when applied to the equation for circular orbits. Given that, what is the mean orbital radius in terms of aphelion and perihelion?
An office door is given a sharp push and swings open against a pneumatic device that slows the door down and then reverses its motion. At the moment the door is open the widest, (a) does the doorknob have a centripetal acceleration? (b) Does it have a tangential acceleration?
5For the case of myoglobin, where mnet =4000 g/mole, how fast does a centrifuge have to spin before the bottom of the tube at a radius of R1 = 20 cm has 10 times the concentration at a radius of R2 = 19.9 cm? Find ω in radians per second from the formula, divide by 2π to get revolutions per second, and then multiply by 60 to get rpm (revolutions per minute).
A bucket of water rotates in a vertical circular orbit with a radius of 1.6 m. What should be the minimum speed (in m / s) of the bucket so that water does not spill at the upper point of the orbit?
A good baseball pitcher can throw a baseball toward homeplate at 85 mi/h with a spin of 1800 rev/min. How many revolutionsdoes the baseball make on its way to home plate? For simplicity,assume that the 60 ft path is a straight line.
From information on the endsheets of this book, compute, for a point located on the surface of the Earth atthe equator, the radial acceleration due to the rotationof the Earth about its axis.
Hungarian Adrian Annus won the gold medal for thehammer throw at the 2004 Olympics in Athens with a winningdistance of 83.19 meters.* The event consists of swinging a16-pound weight attached to a wire 190 centimeters long ina circle and then releasing it. Assuming his release is at a 45°angle to the ground, the hammer will travel a distance ofv02/gmeters, where g = 9.8 meters/second2and v0 is the linearspeed of the hammer when released. At what rate (rpm) washe swinging the hammer upon release?
In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wetclothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown inFigure P7.61. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they aremade to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tubis chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact withthe tub when the cloth is at an angle of θ = 68.0° above thehorizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.330 m, what rate ofrevolution is needed in revolutions per second?
A new car is tested on a 280-m-diameter track. If the car speeds up at a steady 1.5 m/s^2 , how long after starting is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration equal to the tangential acceleration?

A planet orbits a star, in a year of length 2.77 x 107 s, in a nearly circular orbit of radius 3.78 x 1011 m. With respect to the star, determine (a) the angular speed of the planet, (b) the tangential speed of the planet, and (c) the magnitude of the planet's centripetal acceleration.
