(a) A luggage carousel at an airport has the form of a section of a large cone, steadily rotating about its vertical axis. Its metallic surface slopes downward toward the outside, making an angle of 24.5° with the horizontal. A 30.0-kg piece of luggage is placed on the carousel, 7.46 m from the axis of rotation. The travel bag goes around once in 37.5 s. Calculate the magnitude of the force of static friction between the bag and the carousel. N (b) The drive motor is shifted to turn the carousel at a higher constant rate of rotation, and the piece of luggage is bumped to a position 7.94 m from the axis of rotation. The bag is on the verge of slipping as it goes around once every 30.5 s. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the bag and the carousel.
Shown below is a waterslide constructed in the late 1800's. This slide was unique for its time due to the fact that a large number of small wheels along its length made friction negligible. Riders rode a small sled down the chute which ended with a horizontal section that caused the sled and rider to skim across the water much like a flat pebble. The chute was 9.76 m high at the top and 54.3 m long. Consider a rider and sled with a combined mass of 81.0 kg. They are pushed off the top of the slide from point A with a speed of 2.90 m/s, and they skim horizontally across the water a distance of 50 m before coming to rest. 9.76 m Engraving from Scientific American, July 1888 A (a) 20.0 m -54.3 m 50.0 m (b) (a) Find the speed (in m/s) of the sled and rider at point C. m/s (b) Model the force of water friction as a constant retarding force acting on a particle. Find the magnitude (in N) of the friction force the water exerts on the sled. N (c) Find the magnitude (in N) of the force the…
You have an internship working at a company that designs and produces washing and drying equipment. Your supervisor is in the process of designing a new, very large dryer to be used in commercial establishments with intense laundry needs, such as restaurants (tablecloths, napkins) and hotels (sheets, towels). In a dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet material is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis as shown in the figure below. 0 So that the material will dry uniformly, it is made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of 0 = 71.0° above the horizontal. Your supervisor's tub is designed to have a radius of r = 1.23 m and she asks you to determine the appropriate rate of revolution. (Give your answer in rev/min.) rev/min
