Question

8. In a type of amusement park ride sometimes called the “Gravitron”, the people are spun around inside a large cylinder. If the rate of rotation is great enough the rider may “stick” to the inside wall of the cylinder with their feet not touching the floor. Suppose the radius of the cylinder is 2.0 m and that it rotates with a frequency of 1.1 Hz. (a) Determine the speed of a rider. (b) Determine the centripetal acceleration of a rider. (c) The force causing this acceleration is what type and exerted by what? (d) Determine the coefficient of friction that is necessary to keep a rider from sliding down the wall.
