In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis as shown in the figure below. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of 0 = 63.5º above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.415 m, what rate of revolution is needed? rev/min

A manufacturer of CD-ROM drives claims that the player can spin the disc as frequently as 1100 revolutions per minute. If spinning at this rate, what is the acceleration of the middle row of data on the disc; this row is located 2.8 cm from the center of the disc?
In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown in Figure P7.61. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of0 = 68.0° above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.330 m, what rate of revolution is needed in revolutions per second?
A pail of water can be whirled in a vertical circular path suchthat no water is spilled. Why does the water remain in the pail,even when the pail is upside down above your head?
One way to create artificial gravity in a space station is to spin it. If a cylindrical space station 350 m in diameter is to spin about its central axis, at how many revolutions per minute (rpm) must it turn so that the outermost points have an acceleration equal to g? Express answer in revolutions per minute.
In uniform circular motion, the net force is perpendicular to the velocity and changes the direction of the velocity but not the speed. If a projectile is launched horizontally,the net force (ignoring air resistance) is perpendicular to the initial velocity, and yet the projectile gains speed as it falls. What is the difference between the two situations?
A model airplane with mass 0.750 kg is tethered by awire so that it flies in a circle 30.0m in radius. The airplaneengine provides a net thrust of 0.800N perpendicular to thetethering wire.

(c) Find the translationalacceleration of the airplane, and the tangent to its flightpath.
Assuming the earth to be an oblate spheroid, so that the distance from the center to the equator is 27 mi (43.5 km) greater than the distance from the center to the poles, calculate the approximate percent change in a person's apparent weight at the poles and at the equator. Take into account the fact that the earth is turning.
