1. At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 4.0 m/s, and an 83-kg person feels a 565-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of the chamber?

The cable cars in San Francisco are pulled along their tracks by an underground steel cable that moves along at 9.5 mph. The cable is driven by large motors at a central power station and extends, via an intricate pulley arrangement, for several miles beneath the city streets. The length of a cable stretches by up to 100 ft during its lifetime. To keep the tension constant, the cable passes around a 1.5-m-diameter "tensioning pulley" that rolls back and forth on rails, as shown in ( Figure 1). A m = 2000 kg block is attached to the tensioning pulley's cart, via a rope and pulley, and is suspended in a deep hole. m T = 1.5 m Cable Rail Part A What is the tension in the car's cable? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

A 50 g ball of clay is thrown from the left tangent to the top of a 2.0 kg, 30-cm-diameter sphere that spins at a frequency of 1 rev/s ccw about its center. Assuming that the clay sticks to the sphere, how fast must you throw the clay to ensure that the spinning sphere comes to a stop?
Figure P9.75 shows a 100 g puck revolving at 100 rpm on a 20-cm-radius circle on a frictionless table. A string attached to the puck passes through a hole in the middle of the table. The end of the string below the table is then slowly pulled down until the puck is revolving in a 10-cm-radius circle. How many revolutions per minute does the puck make at this new radius?
Two identical twins hold on to a rope, one at each end, on a smooth, frictionless ice surface. They skate in a circle about the center of the rope (the center of mass of the two-body system) and perpendicular to the ice. The mass of each twin is 78.0 kg. The rope of negligible mass is 3.5 m long and they move at a speed of 5.40 m/s. a)What is the magnitude, in kg · m2/s, of the angular momentum of the system comprised of the two twins?
