14. 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 3.2 m/s, and an 83-kg person feels a 560-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of the chamber?

A 17 g audio compact disk has a diameter of 12 cm. The disk spins under a laser that reads encoded data. The first track to be read is 2.3 cm from the axis; as the disk plays, the laser scans tracks farther and farther from the center. The part of the disk directly under the read head moves at a constant 1.2 m/s. a. When a disk is inserted, it takes 2.4 s to spin up from rest. What is the torque of the motor?b. As the disk plays, how does the angular speed change?
You've taken your neighbor's young child to the carnival to ride the rides. She wants to ride The Rocket. Eight rocket-shaped cars hang by chains from the outside edge of a large steel disk. A vertical axle through the center of the ride turns the disk, causing the cars to revolve in a circle. You've just finished taking physics, so you decide to figure out the speed of the cars while you wait. You estimate that the disk is 6 m in diameter and the chains are 6 m long. The ride takes 10 s to reach full speed, then the cars swing out until the chains are 30∘ from vertical. What is the car's speed?
