Largely because of riding in cars, you are used to horizontal circular motion. Vertical circular motion would be anovelty. In this sample problem, such motion seems todefy the gravitational force.In a 1901 circus performance, Allo “Dare Devil”Diavolo introduced the stunt of riding a bicycle in a loopthe-loop (Fig. 6-9a). Assuming that the loop is a circle withradius R 2.7 m, what is the least speed v that Diavolo andhis bicycle could have at the top of the loop to remain incontact with it there?
In Fig. 6-45, a 1.34 kg ball is connected by means of two massless strings, each of length L = 1.70 m, to a vertical, rotating rod. The strings are tied to the rod with separation d = 1.70 m and are taut. The tension in the upper string is 35 N. What are the (a) tension in the lower string, (b) magnitude of the net force on the ball, and (c) speed of the ball? (d) What is the direction of ?
A 0.075 kg toy airplane is tied to the ceiling with a string. When the airplane's motor is started, it moves with a constant speed of 4.47 m/s in a horizontal circle of radius 1.28 m, as illustrated in Figure 6-40 (image attached). Find (a) the angle the string makes with the vertical and (b) the tension in the string.
