Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (Fig. P6.68). One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length L = 12.0cm and bob of mass 0.210 kg. The string makes an angle = 7.00 with the vertical, a. What is the radial acceleration of the bob? b. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob?
A small block with mass 0.0300 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.425 m on the inside of a circular track. During one of the revolutions of the block, when the block is at the bottom of its path, point A, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.90 N . In this same revolution, when the block reaches the top of its path, point B, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block has magnitude 0.675 N . 1) How much work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B?
An engineer wants to design a circular racetrack of radius r such that cars of mass m can go around the track at speed V without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface. Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, and g. Suppose the race cars actually round the track at a speed w>V. What additional radial force Fr is required to keep the cars on the track at this speed? Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, w, and g.
A Wall of Death is a carnival show featuring a motorcyclist rides along the vertical wall of the cylinder and performs various stunts while doing so.

A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 10.0m and makes one revolution in 8.00 seconds. A girl weighing 321 N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is the force exerted on her by the bench as she passes through the lowest point of her motion?
In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?
You are the physics consultant working on an action movie set where an SUV must start from rest, accelerate along a pier, and jump over a stretch of water to land in a departing ferry. (The director assures you it will all be very exciting.) The drawing below shows the situation. The SUV has four-wheel drive (see problem N5D.1), and the coefficients of friction between the tires and the pier’s surface are us =3/4 and uk = 1/2. Calculate the length L (as a fraction or multiple of D) of the run along the pier that you will need for the SUV to make it to the ferry. Ignore air drag.

Two blocks are connected by a massless string that passes through the center of a rotating turntable. The blocks have masses M1 = 1.1 kg and M2 = 2.9 kg. Block 1 rests a distance r = 0.44 m from the center of the turntable. The coefficient of static friction between block and turntable is us = 0.69. Block 2 hangs vertically below. 1)Find the speed of circular motion at which block 1 just begins to slip outward along the surface of the turntable.
When a person stands on tiptoe on one foot (a strenuous position). The total gravitational force Fg on the body is supported by the normal force n exerted by the floor on the toes of one foot.

Find the values of (a) T, (b) R, and (c) 0 when Fg = 700 N.
