A carnival ride has people stand inside a vertical cylinder with their backs to the wall. The cylinder starts spinning and the riders find that they are “stuck” to the wall and don’t slide down, even if the floor is removed. The ride has a radius of r. The person has a mass of m and is moving with a constant speed of v. The coefficient of static friction between the person and the wall is μs , and kinetic friction μk. The person is only touching the wall, not touching the floor. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the person? In what direction does it point? The speed is constant. Why is the acceleration not zero? Briefly explain. No equations!

A heavy cask (full of wine!) sits on an inclined plane. It is held in place by a rope that is attached to the cask and to a hook further up the inclined plane (at A). The rope comes off of the cask tangent to the cask. The mass of the cask is 40 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the inclined plane and the cask is 0.25. What is the maximum value of 0 just before the cask begins to slip? Also, what is the tension in the rope when slipping is impending? Finally, if the inclined plane became icy, and the rope didn't break as the cask slipped, what would be remarkable about the lines of action of the W, N and T force vectors once equilibrium was re-established? 0.70 m 40
