Chapter 9, Problem 44P
* Puck on a string You attach a 100-g puck to a string and let the puck glide in a circle on a horizontal, frictionless air table. The other end of the string passes through a hole at the center o’ the table. You pull down on the string so that the puck moves along a circular path of radius 0.40 m. It completes one revolution in 4.0 s. If you pull harder on the string so the radius of the circle slowly decreases to 0.20 m, what is the new period of revolution?

A civil engineer is designing a banked curve on a highway. The banked curve is designed to allow the cars to move safely in a horizontal circle. a) Assume no friction. What will happen to the ideal speed of a car on the curve when the banking angle between the road and the horizontal is increased. Use formula to support your explanation.
b) If friction exist, what will happen to the maximum speed of a car when the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road is larger. Use formula to support your explanation.
A 890-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn at a maximum speed of 42 m/s without slipping. The turn has a radius of 130 m. Air flowing over the car's wing exerts a downward-pointing force (called the downforce) of 12000 N on the car. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction between the track and the car's tires? (b) What would be the maximum speed if no downforce acted on the car?
The diagram below is an official schematic of a velodrome, where track cycling takes place. The riders can goaround the track at up to 90 km/h. Assume that a biker is taking the steep turn (with maximum angle as shown) at aspeed of 82 km/h and that the turn has a radius of 25 m.
a. Determine the coefficient of friction required to keep on the track. b. Explain why the track is banked (i.e. explain what would happen if the track were horizontal).

- You are working during your summer break as an amusement park ride operator. The ride you are controlling consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away (Fig. P6.7). The coefficient of static friction between a person of mass m and the wall is s, and the radius of the cylinder is R. You are rotating the ride with an angular speed suggested by your supervisor. (a) Suppose a very heavy person enters the ride. Do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall? (b) Suppose someone enters the ride wearing a very slippery satin workout outfit. In this case, do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall?

Assume the child is not holding on and does not wear a seat belt. (a) What is the force of the car seat on the child at point A? (b) What is the force of the car seat on the child at point B? (c) What minimum speed is required to keep the child in his seat at point A?arrow_forward(a) A luggage carousel at an airport has the form of a section of a large cone, steadily rotating about its vertical axis. Its metallic surface slopes downward toward the outside, making an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal. A 30.0-kg piece of luggage is placed on the carousel, 7.46 m from the axis of rotation. The travel bag goes around once in 38.0 s. Calculate the force of static friction between the bag and the carousel. (b) The drive motor is shifted to turn the carousel at a higher constant rate of rotation, and the piece of luggage is bumped to a position 7.94 m from the axis of rotation. The bag is on the verge of slipping as it goes around once every 34.0 s. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the bag and the carousel.arrow_forward
- The motion of spinning a hula hoop around one's hips can bemodeled as a hoop rotating around an axis not through the center, but offset from the center by an amount h, where h is lessthan R, the radius of the hoop. Suppose Maria spins a hula hoopwith a mass of 0.75 kg and a radius of 0.62 m around her waist.The rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the hoop, butapproximately 0.40 m from the center of the hoop. a. What isthe rotational inertia of the hoop in this case? b. If the hula hoopis rotating with an angular speed of 13.7 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy?arrow_forwardIn one amusement park ride, riders enter a large vertical barrel and stand against the wall on its horizontal floor. The barrel is spun up and the floor drops away. Riders feel as if they are pinned to the wall by a force something like the gravitational force. This is a fictitious force sensed and used by the riders to explain events in the rotating frame of reference of the barrel. Explain in an inertial frame of reference (Earth is nearly one) what pins the riders to the wall, and identify all of the real forces acting on them.arrow_forwardCasting molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A variety of sophisticated techniques have been invented, but the basic idea is as illustrated in Figure P4.35. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis, so unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Sometimes it is desirable to form a composite casting, such as for a bearing. Here a strong steel outer surface is poured and then inside it a lining of special low-friction metal. In some applications, a very strong metal is given a coating of corrosion-resistant metal. Centrifugal casting results in strong bonding between the layers. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be at least 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute.arrow_forward
- Artificial gravity is produced in a space station by rotating it, so it is a noninertial reference frame. The rotation means that there must be a centripetal force exerted on the occupants: this centripetal force is exerted by the walls of the station. The space station in Arthur C. Clarkes 2001: A Space Odyssey is in the shape of a four-spoked wheel with a diameter of 155 m. If the space station rotates at a rate of 2.40 revolutions per minute, what is the magnitude of the artificial gravitational acceleration provided to a space tourist walking on the inner wall of the station?arrow_forwardA pail of water is rotated in a vertical circle of radius 10.00 m. (a) What two external forces act 011 the water in the pail? (b) Which of the two forces is most important in causing the water to move in a circle? (c) What is the pails minimum speed at the top of the circle if no water is to spill out? (d) Assume the pail with the speed found in part (c) were to suddenly disappear at the top of the circle. Describe the subsequent motion of the water. Would it differ from the motion of a projectile?arrow_forwardCasting of molten metal is important in many industrial processes. Centrifugal casting is used for manufacturing pipes, bearings, and many other structures. A cylindrical enclosure is rotated rapidly and steadily about a horizontal axis, as in Figure P7.62. Molten metal is poured into the rotating cylinder and then cooled, forming the finished product. Turning the cylinder at a high rotation rate forces the solidifying metal strongly to the outside. Any bubbles are displaced toward the axis so that unwanted voids will not be present in the casting. Suppose a copper sleeve of inner radius 2.10 cm and outer radius 2.20 cm is to be cast. To eliminate bubbles and give high structural integrity, the centripetal acceleration of each bit of metal should be 100g. What rate of rotation is required? State the answer in revolutions per minute. Figure P7.62arrow_forward
- The pilot of an airplane executes a loop-the-loop maneuver in a vertical circle. The speed of the airplane is 300 mi/h at the top of the loop and 450 mi/h at the bottom, and the radius of the circle is 1 200 ft. (a) What is the pilots apparent weight at the lowest point if his true weight is 160 lb? (b) What is his apparent weight at the highest point? (c) What If? Describe how the pilot could experience weightlessness if both the radius and the speed can be varied. Note: His apparent weight is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the seat on his body.arrow_forwardA woman places her briefcase on the backseat of her car. As she drives to work, the car negotiates an unbanked curve in the road that can be regarded as an arc of a circle of radius 62.0 m. While on the curve, the speed of the car is 15.0 m/s at the instant the briefcase starts to slide across the backseat toward the side of the car. (a) What force causes the centripetal acceleration of the briefcase when it is stationary relative to the car? Under what condition does the briefcase begin to move relative to the car? (b) What is the coefficient of static friction between the briefcase and seat surface?arrow_forwardThe tires on a new compact car have a diameter of 2.0 ft and are warranted for 60 000 miles, (a) Determine the angle (in radians) through (which one of these tires will rotate during the warranty period, (b) How many revolutions of the tire are equivalent to your answer in part (a)?arrow_forward
