Chapter 5.2, Problem 5.4QQ
You are riding on a Ferris wheel (Fig. 5.8) that is rotating with constant speed. The car in which you are riding always maintains its correct upward orientation: it does not invert. (i) What is the direction of the normal force on you from the seat when you are at the top of the wheel? (a) upward (b) downward (c) impossible to determine. (ii) From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?

A 230-kg object and a 530-kg object are separated by 3.90 m.
(a) Find the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 65.0-kg object placed midway between them.
N
(b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 65.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two

m from the 530 kg mass toward the 230 kg mass
You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 505 NN in the rope.
a)
If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth's equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.)
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
For this problem, assume that the earth is a perfect sphere. Also, assume that if your
mass is m, then the earth exerts a gravitational force on you of magnitude mg, where g
= 9.8 m/s2 at all points of the earth's surface.
a) Your mass is m =
will the scale read? (Thanks to the Third Law, this is the same as asking for the
normal force exerted on you by the scale.)
b) Next you go to the Equator and stand on a scale. What does it read? The radius
of the earth is 6.4 × 106 m.
c) Suppose the earth were rotating so quickly that objects became “weightless" at
the equator. How long would the day be?
50 kg. If you are standing on a scale at the North Pole, what
