Chapter 11, Problem 45P
You’re choreographing your school’s annual ice show. You call for eight 60-kg skaters to join hands and skate side by side in a line extending 12 m. The skater at one end is to stop abruptly, so the line will rotate rigidly about that skater. For safety, you don’t want the fastest skater to be moving at more than 8.0 m/s. and you don’t want the force on that skater’s hand to exceed 300 N. What do you determine is the greatest speed the skaters can have before they execute their rotational maneuver?

- A ride at a carnival has four spokes to which pods are attached that can hold two people. The spokes are each 15 m long and are attached to a central axis. Each spoke has mass 200.0 kg, and the pods each have mass 100.0 kg. If the ride spins at 0.2 rev/s with each pod containing two 50.0-kg children, what is the new spin rate if all the children jump off the ride?arrow_forwardThree children are riding on the edge of a merry-go-round that is 162 kg, has a 1.60 m radius, and is spinning at 15.3 rpm.

If the child who has a mass of 29.5 kg moves to the center of the merry-go-round, what is the new angular velocity in rpm?arrow_forwardA massless spring of constant k = 78.4 N/m is fixed on the left side of a level track. A block of mass m = 0.50 kg is pressed against the spring and compresses it a distance d , as in Figure P7.76. The block (initially at rest) is then released and travels toward a circular loop-the-loop of radius R = 1.5 m. The entire track and the loop-the-loop are frictionless, except for the section of track between points A and B Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the track along AB is μk 5 0.30, and that the length of AB is 2.5 m, determine the minimum compression d of the spring that enables the block to just make it through the loop-the-loop at point C. Hint: The force exerted by the track on the block will be zero if the block barely makes it through the loop-the-loop.arrow_forward
- You push a .50kg block against a spring (k=3100 N/m),compressing it by .12m. The block is then released from rest and the spring pushes the block away. The spring and the block lose contact and the block collides with a second block of twice the mass. The two blocks slide together down a frictionless track consisting of a flat straightaway and a vertical, semi-circle of radius 40cm. What is the speed of the blocks when they have travelled halfway up the semicircle part of the track? What is the magnitude of the normal force on the two blocks at that same location?arrow_forwardA turntable with a mass of 12 kg and a radius of 2 meters spins at a constant angular velocity of 140 rpm. A 500-gram scoop of uniformly-dense ice cream falls onto the turntable, so the scoop's center of mass is one meter away from the turntable's center. The scoop forms a hemisphere and has a radius of 4 cm. If there's no friction between the brick and ice cream scoop and they spin at the same angular speed, what is their final angular speed, in rev/min or in rad/s?
