A small 0.210-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 3.30 m. The angular speed is 4.66 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 141 N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move? Number Units

On a carnival ride, you stand next to a wall of a circular drum which spins around the center. When drum is spinning fast enough the floor drops away and you remain stuck to the wall and do not slide down to the floor until the drum slows down some. Assume a rider has a mass of 55.0 kg, and the drum has a radius of 6.00 m. The average linear speed that a rider is traveling with around the drum is 7.80 m/s. What is the normal force that the drum is exerting on the rider to keep her from sliding down to the floor?
A cylinder has a cone removed from it. The cylinder and the conical hole have the same radius (2.06 meters) and height (4.56 meters). The cylinder has a density of 447 kg/m3. What is the rotational inertia of the cylinder with the cone removed in kg m2? You can set your origin at the tip of the cone, which is also the center of the base of the cylinder.
An air puck of mass m1 = 0.25 kg is tied to a siring and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius R = 1.0 m on a frictionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of m2 = 1.0 kg is tied to it (Fig. P7.27). The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves, (a) What is the tension in the string? (b) What is the horizontal force acting on the puck? (c) What is the speed of the puck?
A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about an axis at perpendicular to one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are 0.765 m and 1.27 kg respectively. A force of constant magnitude ?F acts on the rod at the end opposite the rotation axis. The direction of the force is perpendicular to both the rod's length and the rotation axis. Calculate the value of ?F that will accelerate the rod from rest to an angular speed of 6.21 rad/s in 9.91 s
A 83-kg pilot in training sits in a centrifuge that spins his seat around a central axis. When the seat is moving in its circular path at a speed of 3.0 m/s, he feels a 585-N force pressing against his back (the seat faces the axis). What is the radius of the centrifuge?
A small 0.400-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 3.30 m. The angular speed is 6.63 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 113N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move?
A small 0.340-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 1.10 m. The angular speed is 7.09 rad/s.

Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 108 N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move? Number Units
A van with mass m = 1000 kg is driving around a circular curve of radius r = 950 m when it begins to rain. The coefficients of static friction between the track and tires is μd = 0.59 when dry and μw = 0.17 when wet. Write an expression for the maximum magnitude of the force of static friction Ff acting on the van if μs is the coefficient of friction. What is the maximum tangential speed that the van can take the corner at without slipping when dry in m/s? What is the maximum tangential speed when wet in m/s?
