The County Fair Swing carries the mass of riders and chairs in an unchanging circular path in an horizontal plane while suspended by mass-less cables. Let's assume that: Each chair with riders is supported by a single cable The tension in the cable equals 2.5 x the total weight riders and chair The radius of the circular path is 16.6 meters Determine the rate of rotation in radians per second.

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?

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 4.9 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the ride and brings it up to its proper turning rate of one complete rotation every 6.8 s. What is the least coefficient of static friction between the cat and the merry-go-round that will allow the cat to stay in place, without sliding?

In a popular amusement parkride, a rotating cylinder ofradius 3.00 m is set in rotationat an angular speed of5.00 rad/s, as in Figure P7.73.The floor then drops away,leaving the riders suspendedagainst the wall in a verticalposition.
