Question 4: Determine the constant speed of the passengers on the amusement-park ride if it is observed that the supporting cables are directed at 0 = 30° from the vertical. Each chair including its passenger has a mass of 80 kg. Also, what are the components of force in the n, t, and b directions which the chair exerts on a 50-kg passenger during the motion?

Two individuals, Ann and Lisa, are both holding a 10kg weight stationary in their hand with their forearm at a 90-degree angle to their body. Their bicep muscles generate similar force when they contract. Ann’s forearm is 18 cm long and her bicep inserts 3 cm from her elbow joint. Melissa’s forearm is 20 cm long and her bicep muscle inserts 4 cm from her elbow joint. Whose bicep needs to generate more force to hold the weight stationary? Explain your answer. Assuming their muscles contract at the same rate, who could move the weight the fastest? Explain your answer.
The mass of yacht and its passenger is 1180kg. It is moving in a circular path with a radius equal to 24 m at a constant velocity of 6 m/s a. Compute for the magnitude of the total force acting in the yacht b. If at an constant that the acceleration increased at 2m/s², compute the total external force experienced by the yacht.
