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?

- In the very Dutch sport of Fierljeppen, athletes run up to a long pole and then use it to vault across a canal. At the very top of his arc, a 55 kg vaulter is moving at 2.5 m/s and is 5.1 m from the bottom end of the pole. What vertical force does the pole exert on the vaulter?arrow_forwardSo, the question asks us to Draw a free body diagram of the roller coaster car with all appropriate forces in three locations. Assume friction is present. (At the bottom of the loop, Halfway up the loop (or ¼ of the way around the entire thing), At the top of the loop ) which I already did then it asks where will the rider experience the greatest force? Why? is it bottom or bottom and why? I am a bit confused on this partarrow_forwardConsider the situation shown in the figure below, except assume that the table is inclined at an angle of 22°, with the pulley at the top of the incline. Does block A slide up or down the incline? Assume that the table is frictionless, mA = 0.72 kg, mB = 0.24 kg, and that the masses of the pulley and string are negligible.arrow_forward
- A girl, having a mass of 15 kg, sits motionless relative to the surface of a horizontal platform at a distance of 5 m from the platform's center. If the girl speed is 2 m/s. What is the normal force that affects the girl?arrow_forwardA person with a mass of 80kg while dressed in a jump suit jumps from a plane while parachuting.They eventually reach a terminal speed of 60m/s. If you assume g = 10ms2 , = 1:21 kg m3 , what is the value of the product of constants cdA?arrow_forwardAs a roller coaster car crosses the top of a 40-m-diameter loop-the-loop, its apparent weight is the same as its true weight. What is the car’s speed at the top?arrow_forward
- Which answer below is closest to the magnitude of the normal force that the idealized in-run exerts on the 60-kg skier? The 2010 Olympic ski jumping competition was held at Whistler Mountain near Vancouver. During a jump, a skier starts near the top of the in-run, the part down which the skier glides at increasing speed before the jump. The Whistler in-run is 116 m long and for the first part is tilted down at about 35° below the horizontal. There is then a curve that transitions into a takeoff ramp, which is tilted 11° below the horizontal. The skier flies off this ramp at high speed, body tilted forward and skis separated (Figure 4.15). This position exposes a large surface area to the air, which creates lift, extends the time of the jump, and allows the jumper to travel farther. In addition, the skier pushes off the exit ramp of the in-run to get a vertical component of velocity when leaving the ramp. The skier lands 125 m or more from the end of the in-run. The landing surface has…arrow_forwardtwo astronauts who have just landed used a power craned to lower their 300 kg moon buddy to the ground at a constant speed of 2m/s from 10 meters up on the moon where g = 1.62 m/s^2. How long should it take to reach the ground ?arrow_forwardscientists are experimenting with a king of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. in one test, this gun accelerates a 3.8 kg projectile from rest to a speed of 5.2 * 10^3 m/s. the net force accelarating the projectile is 2.5 * 10^5 N. how much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed?arrow_forward
- A fire acrobat is swinging a fireball attached to an 80cm string in a vertical circle. If the fireball has a constant speed of 10.14m/s and the tension in the string is 13N when it is on the bottom of the circle, what is the mass of the fireball?arrow_forwardConsider a ball swinging on a string. How does the tension relate to the gravitational force at the bottom of a swing? A. The tension is equal to the gravitational force B. The tension is greater than the gravitational force C. The tension is lesser than the gravitational forcearrow_forwardWhat is the tension in the 10 – m long rope holding Tarzan (mass = 80 kg) right at the bottom of his swing if he starts from rest at a point 5 m above his lowest point?arrow_forward
