Under certain conditions, wind blowing past a rectangular speed limit sign can cause the sign to oscillate with a frequency w. (See the figure below and the Video.) Assume that w is a function of the sign width, b, sign height, h, wind velocity, V, air density, p, and an elastic constant, k, for the supporting pole. The constant, k, has dimensions of FL. Develop a suitable set of pi terms for this problem. SPEED LIMIT 40

As a freshly graduated student from WCCI, you are aiming to become a safety engineer for Bolliger and Mabillard (B&M) so that you can help create rollercoasters for Canada's Wonderland. For many roller coasters, it is important that the rides do not come to a complete stop abruptly at the end of a ride (or else bones will break!). The final section of the rollercoaster has the cart (1.5 tons) starting at the final peak with a height of 140 metres (assume the cart starts at rest). The final section (3-4) of the ride is designed to come to a stop using a material with a coefficient of friction of 0.668. The final section is completely flat and is 393.7 feet long. The minimum time required for a ride to come to a stop safely is 6 seconds. a) What is the minimum height required for the ride to come to a stop safely? b) What is the power generated by the braking system of the ride?
