### Physics Problem: Amusement Park Ride Dynamics**Problem Statement:**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, with their backs against the outer wall. At one instant, the outer wall moves at a speed of $3.70 \, \text{m/s}$, and an $87.0 \, \text{kg}$ person feels a $565 \, \text{N}$ force pressing against his back. What is the radius of the chamber?**Solution:**Given data:- Speed of the outer wall ($v$) = $3.70 \, \text{m/s}$- Force experienced by the person ($F$) = $565 \, \text{N}$- Mass of the person ($m$) = $87.0 \, \text{kg}$We need to find the radius of the chamber ($r$).Using the formula for centripetal force:\[ F = \frac{m v^2}{r} \]Rearranging to solve for $r$:\[ r = \frac{m v^2}{F} \]Substitute the given values:\[ r = \frac{87.0 \, \text{kg} \times (3.70 \, \text{m/s})^2}{565 \, \text{N}} \]\[ r = \frac{87.0 \times 13.69}{565} \]\[ r = \frac{1191.03}{565} \]\[ r \approx 2.11 \, \text{m} \]**Answer:**The radius of the chamber is approximately $2.11 \, \text{m}$.

Solution: The force which makes the person feel pressure against his back is due to the centrifugal…

In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 18.0 m -diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown: Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.50 s . If a rider's mass is 56.0 kg , with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride? Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.50 s . If a rider's mass is 56.0 kg , with how much force does the ring push on her at the bottom of the ride? What is the longest rotation period of the wheel that will prevent the riders from falling off at the top?
Can you explain how to do this?

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.

In the image is a stopper attached to a fishing line that is threaded theough a glass rod. Hanging from the end of the line opposite the stopper is a 100-gram mass. The stopper is being whirled in a horizontal circle, first quickly, then decreasing to a slower speed. a. True or false: the only outward forces are the force of the stopper pulling on the string, and the string pulling on the glass rod. b. Does there appear to be a relationship between the speed and the force needed to keep the stopper moving in a circular path? If so, what kind of relationship do you expect? As the speed increases, does the force needed increase or decrease? Is this some type of direct relationship or an inverse relationship? c. Does there appear to be a relationship between the radius of the circulat motion and the force needed to keep the stopper moving in a circular path? If so, what kind of relationship do you expect? As the radius increases, does the force needed incrase or decrease? Is this some…
