8 40 Even some seasoned roller-costster riders blanch at the thought of riding the Rotor, which is essentially a large, hollow cylinder that is rotated rapidly around its central axis (see the figure). Before the ride begins, a rider enters the cylinder through a door on the side and stands on a floor, up against a canvas-covered wall. The door is closed, and as the cylinder begins to turn, the rider, wall, and floor move in unison. When the rider's speed reaches some predetermined value, the floor abruptly and alarmingly falls away. The rider does not fall with it but instead is pinned to the wall while the cylinder rotates, as if an unseen (and somewhat unfriendly) agent is pressing the body to the wall. Later, the floor is eased back to the rider's feet, the cylinder slows, and the rider sinks a few centimeters to regain footing on the floor. (Some riders consider all this to be fun.) Suppose that the coefficient of static friction A, between the rider's clothing and the canvas is 0.40 and that the cylinder's radius R is 2.1 m. (a) What minimum speed v must the cylinder and rider have if the rider is not to fall when the floor drops? (b) If the rider's mass is 49 kg, what is the magnitude of the centripetal force on her? 42 Curved portions of highways are always banked (tilted) to prevent cars from sliding off tift highway. When a highway is dry, the frictional force between the tires and the road surface may be enough to prevent sliding. When the highway is wet, however, the frictional force may be negligible, and banking is then essential. The figure represents a car of mass m as it moves at a constant speed v of 20 m/s around a banked circular track of radius R = 190 m. (It is a normal car, rather than a race car, which means any vertical force from the passing air is negligible.) If the frictional force from the track is negligible, what bank angle θ prevents sliding? 12 0 (a) 7.17 m/s (b) 1200 N 43 A circular curve of highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. Assume the traffic consists of cars without negative lift. (a) If the radius of the curve is 150 m, what is the correct angle of banking of the road? (b) If the curve were not banked, what would be the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that would keep traffic from skidding out of the turn when traveling at 60 km/h? 41 A Rotor initially moves at the minimum required speed for the rider not to fall. Then its speed is increased in steps. (a) Does the magnitude of f x increase, decrease, or remain the same? (b) Does the magnitude of F N increase, decrease, or remain the same? (c) Does the value of f s,max increase, decrease, or remain the same? 44 (a) 11 0 (b) 0.19 If a curve with a radius of 70 m is perfectly banked for a car traveling 60 km/h, what must be the coefficient of static friction for a car not to skid when traveling at 90 km/h?.375 (a) same (b) increases (c) increases

9 45 A car at the Indianapolis-500 accelerates uniformly from the pit area, going from rest to 320 km/h in a semicircular arc with a radius of 200 m. (a) Determine the tangential and radial acceleration of the car when it is halfway through the turn, assuming constant acceleration. (b) If the curve were flat, what would the coefficient of static friction have to be between the tires and the roadbed to provide this acceleration with no slipping or skidding? 49 In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two sky divers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago. The stunt was great fun until the last sky diver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about 0.5 km, ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver's viewpoint and from the pumpkin's viewpoint, why did the sky diver lose control of the pumpkin? 46 a t = a r = 19,76 µ = A curve of radius 60 m is banked for a design speed of 100 km/h. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.30 (wet pavement), at what range of speeds can a car safely make the curve? On opening the parachute produced a large sudden upward force on the diver due to increased air drag and the drag force slowed the diver suddenly. To keep the pumpkin in his grip he had to slow it just as much but this required more force than he could exert. From the diver s viewpoint the apparent weight of the pumpkin suddenly and surprisingly increased and the pumpkin was ripped from his hands. From the pumpkin s viewpoint the sudden upward force on the diver ripped him away from the pumpkin. 47 (a) (b) µ = tan theta (c) v min =8.57 m/s v max = 16.6 m/s A curve of radius 60 m is banked for a design speed of 100 km/h. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.30 (wet pavement), at what range of speeds can a car safely make the curve? 50 In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the other side (see the figure). Sincosky's mass was 79 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky's grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt.) My solution 48 A small twig slides down the roof of a house pitched at an angle of 30 0 with respect to the horizontal.

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the twig and the roof? (Assume zero air resistance during the fall.) 2.8 x 10 2 N

What is the acceleration of the crate in terms of q k, q, and g? 54 A raindrop with radius R = 1.5 mm falls from a cloud that is at height h = 1200 m above the ground. The drag coefficient C for the drop is Assume that the drop is spherical throughout its fall. The density of water q w is 1000 kg/m 3, and the density of air q a is 1.2 kg/m 3. (a) What is the terminal speed of the drop? (b) What would be the drop's speed just before impact if there were no drag force? 52 A small mass m is set on the surface of a sphere, see the figure. If the coefficient of static friction is q s = 0.60, at what angle q would the mass start sliding? 55 Near the ground, is the speed of large raindrops greater than, less than, or the same as the speed of small raindrops, assuming that all raindrops are spherical and have the same drag coefficient? greater 56 The terminal speed of a sky diver is 160 km/h in the spreadeagle position and 310 km/h in the nosedive position. Assuming that the diver's drag coefficient C does not change from one position to the other, find the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position. θ = Solution in book wrong 53 In an earthquake, the ground is found to accelerate with a maximum value of a max. (a) If an object is going to "hold its place" on the ground, show that it must have a coefficient of static friction with respect to the ground of at least q s = a max /g. (b) Numerically, the famous Loma Prieta Earthquake that stopped the 1989 World Series produced maximum ground accelerations of up to 4.0 m/s 2 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Would a chair start to slide on your linoleum floor if the coefficient of static friction were 0.25? 5.84 or.171 (a) μ s = a max /g. =.25 (b) will slide

11 57 Assume the equation gives the drag force on a pilot plus ejection seat just after they are ejected from a plane traveling horizontally at 1300 km/h. Assume also that the mass of the seat is equal to the mass of the pilot and that the drag coefficient is that of a sky diver (assume the pilot s mass is 70 kg). (a) Making a reasonable guess of the pilot's mass and using the appropriate v t value from the table, estimate the magnitudes of the drag force on the pilot + seat. (b) Making a reasonable guess of the pilot's mass and using the appropriate v t value from the table, estimate the magnitudes of their horizontal deceleration (in terms of g), both just after ejection. (The result of (a) should indicate an engineering requirement: The seat must include a protective barrier to deflect the initial wind blast away from the pilot's head.)
