In the Wall of Death carnival attraction, stunt motorcyclists ride around the inside of a large, 10-m-diameter wooden cylinder that has vertical walls. The coefficient of static friction between the riders’ tires and the wall is 0.90. What is the minimum speed at which the motorcyclists can ride without slipping down the wall?

In terms of m, g, and , find (a) the mass M and (b) the tensions T1 and T2. Now assume that the value of M is double the value found in part (a). Find (c) the acceleration of each object and (d) the tensions T1 and T2. Next, assume that the coefficient of static friction between m and 2m and the inclined plane is s and that the system is in equilibrium.
