Problem 8 Friction Circles (a) A box of mass m sits in the back of a truck that is driving at constant speed in circles with radius R. If the coefficient of static friction is μ, how fast can the truck drive in circles before the box slides in the truck? (b) An amusment park ride consists of a cylinder that spins at some velocity about its axis. Passengers stand along the edge of the cylinder and when the ride gets up to speed the floor drops away. Due to friction, a passenger remains against the wall. Find the minimum angular frequency of such a ride if the coefficient of static friction between the ride and a passenger's clothes is μ and the radius of the cylinder is R.

5. After subjecting the car design of a sun-powered car to wind tunnel testing, a group of engineer- ing students estimates the tangential component of the car's acceleration will be at = 0.6 -0.002² m/s², where v is the car's velocity in m/s. If the car starts from rest at A, what are the car's veloc- ity and acceleration in terms of normal and tan- gential components when it reaches B? | 200 m 50 m B
