Chapter 8, Problem 51EAP
In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 16-m-diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane, as shown in FIGURE P8.51.
a. Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.5 s. If a rider’s mass is 55 kg, with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride? At the bottom?
b. What is the longest rotation period of the wheel that will prevent the riders from falling off at the top?

2. A 175-kg roller coaster car is supposed to make a vertical loop with a diameter of 13.5 m, with the
car on the inside of the loop.
a.
What is the minimum speed of the car at the top of the loop so that it doesn't come off of
the tracks and fall to the ground?
b. If the car is traveling at twice that speed, what is the magnitude of the normal force exerted
on the car by the tracks?
A boy takes a 1.5-kg rock and ties it to the end of a 0.80-m-long, massless, uniform rope. He then swings the rock
in a vertical circle. If the speed of the rock at the bottom of the swing is 5.0 m/s, what is the tension in the rope?
