On a Ferris wheel, at certain parts of the motion, gravity plays a role in providing the necessary radial acceleration. Specifically, at the top of the circle, gravity is pulling toward the center of motion, and at the bottom of the circle, gravity is pulling away from the center of motion. A passenger moves in a vertical circle of radius R with constant speed v. (a) Assuming that the seat remains upright during the motion, derive expressions for the magnitude of the upward force the seat exerts on the passenger at the top and bottom of the circle if the passenger's mass is m. (b) What are these forces if the passenger's mass is 60 0 kg, the radius of the circle is R wheel makes one revolution in 10.0 s?

As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.

Medical testing has established that the maximum acceleration a pilot can be subjected to without losing consciousness is approximately 5.00g. A pilot can avoid “blackout” at accelerations up to approximately 9.00g by wearing special “g-suits” that help keep blood pressure in the brain at a sufficient level.
