Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.38P
Human centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration levels for pilots. When aerospace physiologists say that a pilot is pulling 9 g’s, they mean that the resultant normal force on the pilot from the bottom of the seat is nine times their weight. Knowing that the centrifuge starts from rest and has a constant angular acceleration of 1.5 RPM per second until the pilot is pulling 9 g’s and then continues with a constant angular velocity, determine (a) how long it will take for the pilot to reach 9 g’s (b) the angle θ of the normal force once the pilot reaches 9 g’s.

A hanging mass, M1 = 0.5 kg, is attached by a light string that runs over a frictionless pulley to a
mass M2 = 1.5 kg that is initially at rest on a frictionless ramp. The ramp is at an angle of θ = 30.0°
above the horizontal and the pulley is at the top of the ramp. Find the magnitude and direction of
the acceleration of M1.

A 5.00 kg block is released from rest on a ramp that is inclined at an angle of 60.0° below the horizontal. The initial position of the block is a vertical distance of 2.00 m above the bottom of the ramp. (a) If the speed of the block is 5.00 m/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp, what was the work done on it by the friction force? (b) If the angle of the ramp is changed but the block is released from a point that is still 2.00 m above the base of the ramp, both the magnitude of the friction force and the distance along the ramp that the block travels change. If the angle of the incline is changed to 50.0°, does the magnitude of the work done by the friction force increase or decrease compared to the value calculated in part (a)? (c) How much work is done by friction when the ramp angle is 50.0°?

As shown, a 53 kg crate is pulled up a θ = 50 ∘ incline by a pulley and motor system. Initially at rest, the crate is pulled s = 2.1 m up along the incline.
