Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 54ICA
When we drive our car at 100 feet per second [ft/s], we measure an aerodynamic force (called drag) of 66 pound-force [lbf] that opposes the motion of the car. How much horsepower [hp] is required to overcome this drag?

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.
