Vertical circular motion, "up-side-down," apparent weight: On a roller coaster, al point of the inside of the loop-the-loop, your apparent weight (the normal force on you from the seat) is equal to only half your weight. Assume that your body of mass m travels in a vertical circle with radius r, and that your speed v remains constant. (See PSL 6.11,12) a) Draw a FBD of you (i) at the top, and (ii) at the bottom of the loop. b) Determine your tangential speed at the top. c) Determine your apparent weight at the bottom. d) If instead your apparent weight at the top were zero (i.e., you are on the verge of falling out), what is the speed? e) Determine all these values if your mass is 100 kg and the radius is 5.00 m.

Vertical circular motion, "up-side-down," apparent weight: On a roller coaster, at the
point of the inside of the loop-the-loop, your apparent weight (the normal force on you from the seat)
is equal to only half your weight. Assume that your body of mass m travels in a vertical circle with
radius r, and that your speed v remains constant. (See PSL 6.11,12)
a) Draw a FBD of you (i) at the top, and (ii) at the bottom of the loop.
b) Determine your tangential speed at the top.
c) Determine your apparent weight at the bottom.
d) If instead your apparent weight at the top were zero (i.e., you are on the verge of falling out), what
is the speed?
e) Determine all these values if your mass is 100 kg and the radius is 5.00 m.
