In designing circular rides for amusement parks, mechanical engineers must consider how small variations in certain parameters can alter the net force on a passenger. Consider a passenger of mass m riding around a horizontal circle of radius r at speed v. What is the variation dF in the net force magnitude for (a) a variation dr in the radius with v held constant, (b) a variation dv in the speed with r held constant, and (c) a variation dT in the period with r held constant?

- A mass on the end of a string of length L is in clockwise uniform circular motion in the horizontal plane. The mass moves with a tangential velocity v as it crosses the vertical axis. Write a unit vector expression for the force acting on the mass m.arrow_forwardNewton's universal law of gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force along a line joining them. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it can be written as GMm F = According to this law, when distance between two masses is reduced by half, the force becomes half compared to original O becomes two times larger compared to original becomes quarter of the original becomes four times larger compared to originalarrow_forwardA mass m is suspended from a massless spring of natural length 90 cm with the spring constant = 10 Nm and causes the spring to extend k by 9.1 cm.

- 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.arrow_forwardAn engineer wants to design a circular racetrack of radius L such that cars of mass M can go around the track at speed W without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface.

At what point, as measured from the center of the earth, does the gravitational force exerted on the spacecraft by the earth balance that exerted by the moon? This point lies on a line between the centers of the earth and the moon. The distance between the earth and the moon is 3.85 x 10 m, and the mass of the earth is 81.4 times as great as that of the moon. Number Units movearrow_forward
- You and your family take a road trip on a long holiday weekend. In a certain section of the trip where the road is particularly uneven, the car goes over a bump that is curved downward with a radius of 16.0 m. See diagram below. The mass of the car and its passengers is 1200 kg. (a) When the car is at the highest point of the bump its speed is 7.05 m/s. Determine the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the road on the car at this highest point. magnitude direction N |---Select-- v (b) If the speed at the highest point is above a certain maximum value the car will lose contact with the road. Calculate this maximum speed. m/sarrow_forwardA mass m is suspended from a massless spring of natural length 90 cm with the spring constant k 10 Nm and causes the spring to extend by 6.8 cm.
