The “Giant Swing” at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end. (See Figure 6.28.) Each arm supports a seat suspended from a 5.00-m-long rod, the upper end of which is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft. (a) Make a free-body diagram of the seat, including the person in it. (b) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the rod supporting the seat makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. (c) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?

- A ball of mass 6.0 kg, which is attached to a very light string, is held parallel to ground. The ball is released from rest and swings downwards in a circular arc of radius r. Find the tension in the string at the lowest point. (Use g = 9.8m/s2 and round answer to 1 decimal place.)arrow_forwardA makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.arrow_forwardA 8.00 kg wooden cuboid with a length of 2.00 m is attached to the wall as shown in Figure 5.1. A rope is fixed at the position 0.250 m to the right of the centre of mass of the cuboid and a 500N object is attached at the right end. Austin has a mass of 70.0 kg and is moving from the wall towards the other end of the cuboid. [Hint: Set the point where the cuboid attached to the wall as axis of rotation.] Q5.

- In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 16-m-diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown in the figure below. (a) Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.5 s. If a rider's mass is 55 kg, how much force does the ring push on them at the top of the ride? (b) What is the longest rotation period of the ring that will prevent the riders from falling off (at the top of the ride)? Rotation axis 灣arrow_forwardPlease answer this within 30 mins !

(a) How slowly can the ball go through its top position without having the string go slack? (b) Now, suppose the ball is moving at 5.0 m/s at the top position, what is the tension in the string?arrow_forward
- Suppose you tie a rock to the end of a 1-meter-long string and spin it in a vertical circle. What is the minimum speed it can travel and "just" get around the top? (Hint: The rope will just start to go "slack" and the only force acting on the rock, downward, is gravity.)arrow_forwardA 1,814 kg car is running on a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the tires and the wall is 0.67, and the radius of the track is 7 m. Find the minimum speed of the car so it does not slip. Round the final answer to 1 decimal place.arrow_forwardA ball B is fastened to one end of a string with a length of 25 cm, and the other end is held fixed at point O as shown in the figure.
