The “Giant Swing” at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end. (See Figure 6.28.) Each arm supports a seat suspended from a 5.00-m-long rod, the upper end of which is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft. (a) Make a free-body diagram of the seat, including the person in it. (b) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the rod supporting the seat makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. (c) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?

- Imagine you are at a carnival. At the carnival is ride that has a chair attached to ta 9m long chain that attaches a chair at the end of the chain to a tower that spins around in a circle. The angle of the chain is 20 degrees to the vertical. The angle will stay at 20 degrees as the chair moves in a horizontal circle. The chair makes 1 revolution in 5 seconds. You estimate that the weight of the chair and the rider is 150kg maximum. The chain can withstand 3000N before it breaks. Will the chain brake?arrow_forwardA 36.0-kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 3.08 m long. The tension in each chain at the lowest point is 410 N. (a) Find the child's speed at the lowest point.(b) Find the force exerted by the seat on the child at the lowest point. (Ignore the mass of the seat.)arrow_forwardThe roller coaster 'Scream' at Six Flags Magic Mountain has a vertical circular loop. After a huge 141ft drop, you enter the bottom of this loop with a radius of 64.0 ft at the ride's top speed of 64.3 mph. Ifyou have a mass of 56.2 kg, calculate the normal force exerted on you by the seat of the coaster.Express your answer in terms of your weight, mg.arrow_forward

The gravitational force on the box is 29.4 N . When the box reaches a speed of 2.5 m/s , you start pushing on one edge of the box at a 45∘∘ angle (use degrees in your calculations throughout this problem) with a constant force of magnitude FpFpF_p = 23.0 N , as shown in (Figure 1). There is now a frictional force between the box and the wall of magnitude 13.0 N . How fast is the box sliding 2.6 s after you started pushing on it?arrow_forward
- Two blocks are connected by a massless rope as shown below. The mass of the block on the table is 4.0 kg and the hanging mass is 1.0 kg. The table and the pulley are frictionless. (a) Find the acceleration of the system. (b) Find the tension in the rope. (c) Find the speed with which the hanging mass hits the floor if it starts from rest and is initially located 1.0 m from the floor.arrow_forwardConsider a conical pendulum as shown in the figure with a 80 kg bob. The bob is attached with a wire of length 10 m making an angle of thita = 5 degree with the vertical. (a) Determine the horizontal and vertical component of the force exerted by the wire on the pendulum.(b) Determine the centripetal acceleration and speed of the bob.(c) Calculate the time period, T of the conical pendulum.arrow_forwardA makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible?

- WRITE THE ANSWER IN 10 MINUTES PLEASE ! ! ! Consider the roller coaster ride shown below. Here r1=6m and r2=16m. Imagine that the car is traveling with a constant speed of v=6.7m/s throughout the whole ride. If the mass of a child riding the car is m=35kg, determine the apparent weight of the child at point A. Express your answer using SI units with zero decimal place. Take g=9.80m/s2.arrow_forwardThe 1.0 kg iron ball shown is being swung in a vertical circle at the end of a 1.0-m string. (a) How slowly can the ball go through its top position without having the string go slack? (b) Now, suppose the ball is moving at 5.0 m/s at the top position, what is the tension in the string?arrow_forwardSuppose you tie a rock to the end of a 1-meter-long string and spin it in a vertical circle. What is the minimum speed it can travel and "just" get around the top? (Hint: The rope will just start to go "slack" and the only force acting on the rock, downward, is gravity.)arrow_forward
