Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 4RQ
The term "deep sea" refers to everything in the ocean below a depth of 200 meters [m]. It is estimated more than 90% of the living space on the planet exists at this depth. The deep sea is an area of great interest for explorers. If a submarine dives to a depth of 400 meters [m], how deep is this in units of miles [mi]?

A virtual experiment is designed to determine the effect of friction on the timing and speed
of packages being delivered to a conveyor belt and the normal force applied to the tube.
A package is held and then let go at the edge of a circular shaped tube of radius R = 5m.
The particle at the bottom will transfer to the conveyor belt, as shown below.
Run the simulations for μ = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and determine the time and speed at
which the package is delivered to the conveyor belt. In addition, determine the maximum
normal force and its location along the path as measured by angle 0.

(b) A table listing the values in 5 columns:
μ, T (time of transfer), V (speed of transfer), 0 (angle of max N), Nmax (max N)
(c) Based on your results, explain in one sentence what you think will happen to the
package if the friction is increased even further, e.g. μ = 0.8.
