Atten
A toy shop owner is designing a display for his store window.
m.
bear
He would like a snowman on a sled to travel in a circular path
d -
L
of radius d on an icy (frictionless) surface. To make this
happen, he attaches a string to the sled, passes the string
through the center of a vertical pole, and anchors the other
end of the string to a teddy bear, a distance L from the pole,
on a different level. He will give the sled a little push to get it
m
started traveling at a constant speed v. Since he might want to
sell the bear later, he will not glue it down and has to rely on
the friction between the bear and the surface, which has a
coefficient of static friction µ.
If the mass of the snowman and sled combined is m, what is
the minimum mass of the bear mpear for which this motion is
possible? Express your answer in terms of m, L, d, µ, v, and g
(the acceleration due to gravity).

A 1200 kg car rounds a level freeway exit turn of radius 40m at constant speed of 20m/s. What is the net force on the car as a vector? Choose your own coordinate system that seems appropriate.
A 55.0 Kg ice skater is moving at 4.00 m/s when she grabs the loose end of the rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole. She then moves in a circle of radius 0.800 m around the pole. a) Determine the force exerted by the horizontal rope on her arms. b) Compare this force with her weight.
