Chapter 6, Problem 64GP
The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins in biological research. Because of the enormous centripetal accelerations that can be achieved, the apparatus (see Figure 6.18) must be carefully balanced so that each sample is matched by another on the opposite side of the rotor shaft. Failure to do so is a costly mistake, as seen in Figure P6.64. Any difference in mass of the opposing samples will cause a net force in the horizontal plane on the shaft of the rotor. Suppose that a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation, and one sample has a mass 10 mg greater than the opposing sample. If the samples are 10 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?

How slow can you go? A car drives in a circular
path of radius R on a curved track, with coefficient
of static friction , between the tires and the road.
The track is banked at an angle from the
horizontal. The conditions are very icy and the car
is going just barely fast enough to keep from sliding down the incline. (See PSL 6.10, and 6.9 and 5

However, too much variation over a short period of time can be painful. For this reason, the loops of real roller coasters are not simply circles like 6.16a. A typical loop is shown in Q6.15. The radius of the circle that matches the track at the top of the loop is much smaller than that of a matching circle at other places on the track.
