A model airplane of mass 0.750 kg flies with a speed of 35.0 m/s in a horizontal circle at the end of a 60.0-m-long control wire as shown in Figure P6.44a. The forces exerted on the airplane are shown in Figure P6.44b: the tension in the control wire, the gravitational force, and aerodynamic lift that acts at θ = 20.0° inward from the vertical. Compute the tension in the wire, assuming it makes a constant angle of θ = 20.0° with the horizontal.

- A model airplane of mass 0.740 kg flies with a speed of 35.0 m/s in a horizontal circle at the end of a 64.0-m-long control wire as shown in Figure (a). The forces exerted on the airplane are shown in Figure (b): the tension in the control wire, the gravitational force, and aerodynamic lift that acts at 0 = 20.0° inward from the vertical. Compute the tension in the wire, assuming it makes a constant angle of 20.0⁰ with the horizontal. N Need Help?

The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal tabletop. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q. Which of the above forces is (are) acting on the ball when it is within the frictionless channel at position "q"?arrow_forwardThe accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O".

- You have applied for a great summer job working with a special effects team at a movie studio. As part of your interview you have been asked to evaluate the design for a stunt in a new Indiana Jones production. A large spherical boulder starts from rest and rolls down an inclined track. At the bottom, the track curves up into a vertical circle so that the boulder can roll around on the inside of the circle and come back to ground level. It is important that the boulder not fall off the track at the top of the circle and crush the star standing below. You have been asked to determine the relationship between the heights of the boulder’s starting point on the ramp (measured from the center of the boulder) and the maximum radius of the circular part of the track. You can determine the mass and the radius of the boulder should you need to know them. You have been told that the moment of inertia of a sphere is 2/5 that of a ring of the same mass and radius. After some thought you…arrow_forwardYour answer is incorrect. An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 500. km/h (see the figure). If its wings are tilted at angle 0 = 43.0° to the horizontal, what is the radius of the circle in which the plane is flying? Assume that the required force is provided entirely by an "aerodynamic lift" that is perpendicular to the wing surface. Use g = 9.81 m/s².

- A 70 kg person is sitting on a bathroom scale while riding on a Ferris Wheel. The Ferris Wheel has a radius of 9 m. The scale reads 900 N when the person is at the bottom of the motion. Find the person's speed.arrow_forwardYou are swinging a tennis ball attached to a 55 cm long cord, swinging the tennis ball in a circle. As you swing the tennis ball, the force of tension in the cord keeps the tennis ball in a circular path. The mass of the tennis ball is 0.25 kg, and as it swings around, speed of the tennis ball is 3.8 m/s. What is the force of tension in the cord?
