- Construct Your Own Problem Consider an amusement park ride in which participants are rotated about a vertical axis in a cylinder with vertical walls. Once the angular velocity reaches its full value, the floor drops away and friction between the walls and the riders prevents them from sliding down. Construct a problem in which you calculate the necessary angular velocity that assures the riders will not slide down the wall. Include a free body diagram of a single rider. Among the variables to consider are the radius of the cylinder and the coefficients of friction between the riders’ clothing and the wall.arrow_forwardA block of mass m1 =2,00 kg and a block of mass m2=6,00 kg are connected by a rope negligible mass over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk that has radius R= 0,250 m and mass M=10,0 kg. These blocks are allowed to move on an incline ramp of angle30.00, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the ramp is 0,360. Determine (a) the acceleration of the system and b) the tensions in the rope on both sides of the pulley.arrow_forwardConsider an amusement park ride in which participants are rotated about a vertical axis in a cylinder with vertical walls.

- The 100 kg sphere A is released from rest at an angle of α from the vertical, and hits the 10 kg block B (initially at rest), causing block B to have an initial velocity of 5 m/s as it enters the circular ramp (radius = 5 m) and stop temporarily at a final height h. The coefficient of restitution between sphere A and the block B is 0.6. Assume all surfaces are frictionless. Also assume direct impact between A and B. Which of the following best approximates the value of height h? 0.255m 0.510 m 5.00 m 1.274 marrow_forwardA system consists of two objects of mass 2m and m, connected by a rod of negligible mass as shown. The system is held at its center of mass with the rod level and released. Which of the following explains why the rod does not rotate? A.The Earth exerts the same gravitational force on both objects, causing them to accelerate at the same rate. B.The Earth exerts a larger gravitational force the object of mass 2m, but that sphere is closer to the center of mass and the torques cancel out. C.The Earth exerts the same gravitational force on both objects, generating torques that cancel out. D.The Earth exerts a larger gravitational force the object of mass 2m, but that sphere has more inertia and the torques cancel out.arrow_forwardA block with mass m1 = 3.00 kg sits on a horizontal table and is attached to a rope. The rope then passes over a MASSIVE pulley this time and is attached to a block of mass m2 = 2.00 kg, which hangs vertically. The coefficient of kinetic friction of the interface between the table and m1 is 0.1. You may assume the pulley section is a disk with a mass of 2 kg. We will keep the pulley frictionless for brevity. Find the acceleration of the blocks using your choice of either Newton’s Laws or the energy conservation method.arrow_forward
