On a popular amusement park ride, the riders stand along the inside wall of a large cylinder with a diameter of 8.27 m. The cyli

nder rotates and when it reaches a rotational frequency of 0.66 revolutions per second the floor drops out. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction needed between a rider and the cylinder wall to prevent the rider from moving down?

Answer:

Explanation:

D = 8.27 m   ⇒  R = D / 2 = 8.27 m / 2 = 4.135 m

ω = 0.66 rev/sec = (0.66 rev/sec)*(2π rad/1 rev) = 4.1469 rad/s

We can apply the equation

Ff = W  ⇒  μ*N = m*g   <em>(I)</em>

then we have

N = Fc = m*ac = m*(ω²*R)

Returning to the equation <em>I</em>

<em />

μ*N = m*g    ⇒    μ*m*ω²*R = m*g   ⇒ μ = g / (ω²*R)

Finally

μ = (9.81 m/s²) / ((4.1469 rad/s)²*4.135 m) = 0.1379

Power is the rate work done given by dividing work done by unit time. It is measured in watts equivalent to J/s.
In this case the force by the student is mg = 490 N (taking g as 9.8m/s²)
Work done is given by force × distance,
Therefore, Power =(force × distance)/ time, but velocity/speed =distance/time
Thus, Power = force × speed/velocity
                     = 490 N × 1.25
                     = 612.5 J/S (Watts)
Hence, power will be 612.5 Watts.

In a hydraulic garage lift, the small piston has a radius of 5.0 cm and the large piston has a radius of 1.50 m. What force must
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

222.22 N

Explanation:

r = 5 cm = 0.05 m, R = 1.5 m, f = ? , F = 200,000 N

Use pascal's law

F / A = f / a

F / 3.14 x R^2 = f / 3.14 x r^2

F / R^2 = f / r^2

f = F x r^2 / R^2

f = 200000 x 0.05 x 0.05 / (1.5 x 1.5)

f = 222.22 N
