Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 9P
* EST A tire-pressure monitoring system warns you with a dashboard alert when one of your car tires is significantly underinflated, possibly creating unsafe driving conditions. How does the car know when to turn on the alert? Many cars have sensors that measure the period of rotation of each wheel. Based on the period, the car's computer determines the relative size of the tires when the car is moving at a certain speed. (a) Explain how the period of the wheel rotation is related to the size of the tire. (b) Derive a mathematical equation that relates the period T of the wheel rotation to the tire radius r and the speed v of the car. (c) Figure P5.9 shows a properly inflated tire (left) and an underinflated tire (right) of the same car. Estimate the percent change of the period of the underinflated tire compared to the properly inflated tire. (d) Estimate the distance this car would have to travel for the difference between the numbers of turns of the two wheels to be equal to one turn. Which will undergo more turns, the underinflated or the properly inflated tire?

Context
The needle of a sewing machine makes a repetitive up and down motion which is described by the equation
y(t)=Acos(wt)
To choose the settings of the device that will ensure that the needle successfully pierces the textile, you are asked to model the speed in y of the needle as a function of time.
Constraints and information
The parameter A represents the range of motion (in m);The parameter w represents the angular frequency. It tells us about the number of back and forth movements that the needle makes per second;The parameter w is given in rad/s, so your calculator absolutely must be in radians mode to do the calculations in this problem;This type of movement is called Simple Harmonic Movement and will be studied in depth in the 3rd physics course
Modelization
Establish the model for the y velocity of the needle as a function of time and the parameters A and w.
Then test your model by…

- You are working in an observatory, taking data on electromagnetic radiation from neutron stars. You happen to be analyzing results from the neutron star in Example 11.6, verifying that the period of the 10.0-km-radius neutron star is indeed 2.6 s. You go through weeks of data showing the same period. Suddenly, as you analyze the most recent data, you notice that the period has decreased to 2.3 s and remained at that level since that time. You ask your supervisor about this, who becomes excited and says that the neutron star must have undergone a glitch, which is a sudden shrinking of the radius of the star, resulting in a higher angular speed. As she runs to her computer to start writing a paper on the glitch, she calls back to you to calculate the new radius of the planet, assuming it has remained spherical. She is also talking about vortices and a superfluid core, but you dont understand those words.arrow_forwardTable P16.59 gives the position of a block connected to a horizontal spring at several times.
