An old amusement park ride, called The Rotor, is a large, upright rotating barrel. Riders enter and stand near the outer circular wall. Once the ride reaches full speed, the floor is retracted, leaving the riders stuck to the wall of the drum. Draw a force diagram of a person in the Rotor Ride. What is the minimum speed should a 5.0-m diameter Rotor Ride reach before dropping the floor if the coefficient of static friction is 0.70 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.60? What is the minimum required weight for this ride?

Imagine If A skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 19 m in a parking lot. We know the total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 95 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.66 . A) Now what is the maximum speed, in meters per second, he can travel through the arc without slipping?
