Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Over the holiday break you have an internship with an ice skating show. An ice skater will start from rest and slide down an ice-covered ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the skater will glide around an ice-covered loop which is the inside of a vertical circle before emerging out onto the skating rink floor. For a spectacular effect, the circular loop will have a diameter of 30 feet. Your task is to determine the minimum height from the rink floor to the top of the ramp for the skater to make it around the loop. When barely making it around, the skater briefly loses contact with the ice at the top of the loop.
It’s an arm day at the gym and all the free weights and machines are taken. You don’t have much time to squeeze in your workout before your next class. Desperate to get your reps in, you see a pile of Therabands (the giant rubber bands used for physical therapy). The bands are 100 mm wide and 1.5 mm thick. You sit down to do some bicep curls with the Theraband tied to rack 60 cm away from your hand and your hand is 80 cm from the floor. However, a single length of the Theraband is too easy to curl, so you end up wrapping it around your hand twice (i.e. you are stretching 4 lengths of Theraband when you do your reps). Your hand starts out 60 cm from the Theraband anchor point before your do your bicep curl (i.e. no stress on the band, band has no slack). You contract your bicep until your forearm is parallel with the floor and hand in the position below and hold static equilibrium. From previous obsessing over your personal biomechanics, you know the following: your arm and hand weigh 2…
