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. Given that the radius of the cylinder is 7 m and the static coefficient of friction is 0.8, what is the minimum speed in m/s2 that the motorcyclist must do to prevent the motorcycle to slip from the wall?
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?
A small block with mass 0.0300 kgkg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.425 mm 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 AA, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.90 NN . In this same revolution, when the block reaches the top of its path, point BB, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block has magnitude 0.675 NN . 1)How much work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point AA to point BB?
Suppose that the 1kg standard body accelerates at 4m/s² at 160° from the +x-axis, owing two forces, one of which is F=(2.5)i+(4.6)j. What is the other force (a)in unit vector notation (b)as a magnitude and direction
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.
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 makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
A uniform disk with mass m = 8.57 kg and radius R = 1.36 m lies in the x-y plane and centered at the origin. Three forces act in the +y-direction on the disk: 1) a force 338 N at the edge of the disk on the +x-axis, 2) a force 338 N at the edge of the disk on the –y-axis, and 3) a force 338 N acts at the edge of the disk at an angle θ = 31° above the –x-axis. 1) What is the x-component of the net torque about the z axis on the disk? 2) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration about the z axis of the disk? 3) If the disk starts from rest, what is the rotational energy of the disk after the forces have been applied for t = 1.6 s?
Consider the yo-yo (of mass M and outer radius R) shown in the figure, where the string is being pulled with a force of magnitude F (F < M g) at an angle θ to the horizontal. The radius of the inner axis is r (so that r < R). Assume that the angle ranges from 0 to π/2, and the coefficient of static friction with the ground is very large. 1)Enter an expression for the critical angle (in radians, between 0 and π / 2) at which the yo-yo will remain motionless. Use γ = r / R to simplify your expression. 2) Calculate this critical angle θc, in degrees, if the yo-yo has an outer radius of 3.6 cm and an inner radius of 0.73 cm.
