Terror Twins Steve and Phil are playing on a very large merry-go-round coated with ice (frictionless). mSteve =mPhil 47.6 kg. The merry-go-round is spinning at a constant rate of revolution as the Terror Twins ride on it. Steve sitting 2.00 m from the center and must hold on to one of the metal posts with a horizontal force of 80.0 N to keep from sliding off. If Phil is sitting at the edge 4.00 m from the center, with what force must he hold on to keep from falling off?

Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

(frictionless). mSteve =mPhil = 47.6 kg. The merry-go-round is spinning at a constant
rate of revolution as the Terror Twins ride on it. Steve sitting 2.00 m from the center and
must hold on to one of the metal posts with a horizontal force of 80.0 N to keep from sliding
off. If Phil is sitting at the edge 4.00 m from the center, with what force must he hold on
to keep from falling off?

There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you was them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the ontainer is 11.4 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 1.36 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the outer wall?
