While at the carnival you go on a ride called “The Centripetal Monster”. This ride consists of a circularroom 3 meters in radius, which spins. You stand against the wall of the room as it spins. Once the ridereaches its maximum speed the floor drops away and you stick to the wall!(a) Draw a free body diagram of the forces acting upon you.(b) Assuming that the coefficient of static friction between you and the wall is 0.8, with what velocity mustthe room spin at so that you don’t fall?(c) What is your acceleration?
A car is traveling at a speed of 120 km/h and attempts to take a turn. The coefficient of friction of the tires on the dry asphalt is 0.90. Determine the difference in the radius of the turn if the road is horizontal or banked at 20º into the turn (but the car is still turning on the horizontal plane). Draw Free Body Diagrams that clearly show the components of the forces that you need. You must show how you get to any equations you use (i.e. derive them from your FBD)
During a hammer thrower’s practice swings, the 16-lb head A of the hammer revolves at a constant speed v in a horizontal circle as shown. If p=3 ft and theta = 60 degrees, determine (a) the tension in wire BC, (b) the speed of the hammer’s head.
