A "swing" ride at a carnival consists of chairs that are swung in a circle by 19.6 m cables attached to a vertical rotating pole

, as the drawing shows. Suppose the total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg. (a) Determine the tension in the cable attached to the chair. (b) Find the speed of the chair.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the cable is 19.6 m, l = 19.6 m

Let us assume that the angle with vertical rotating pole is 62.5 degrees.

The total mass of a chair and its occupant is 250 kg.

(a) Let T is the tension in the cable attached to the chair. So,

T\cos\theta=mg\\\\T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos\theta}\\\\T=\dfrac{250\times 9.8}{\cos(62.5)}\\\\T=5305.91\ N

(b) The centripetal acceleration is balanced by :

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g\tan\theta\\\\v=\sqrt{Rg\tan\theta} \\\\v=\sqrt{l\sin\theta g\tan\theta}\\\\v=\sqrt{19.6\times \sin(62.5)9.8\times \tan(62.5)}\\\\v=18.09\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

Explanation:

radius, R = 19.6 m

mass, m = 250 kg

(a) The tension in the cable is T.

T = mg

T = 250 x 9.8

T = 2450 N

(b) Let v is the speed of the chair.

the tension force is balanced by the centripetal force.

T = mv²/r

2450 = 250 x v²/19.6

v² = 192.08

v = 13.86 m/s

Thus, the speed of the car is 13.86 m/s

AleksAgata [21]
One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

Importance of a cell​
Anika [276]

Explanation:

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions.

If a cylindrical space station 275 m in diameter is to spin about its central axis, at how many revolutions per minute (rpm) mus
sergij07 [2.7K]

The centripetal acceleration is responsible for the artificial gravity because the acceleration of an object moving in constant circular motion causing from net external force is called centripetal acceleration. It defines to the center or seeking the center.

Given the following:

Cylindrical space station diameter           = 275 meters; 137.5 meters for the radius

Standard gravity                                       = 9.80665 m/s²

 

Using the formula:

w² x r =g

w² = g / r

w² = 9.80665 m/s² / 137.5 m

w² = 9.80665 m/s² / 137.5 m

w² = 0.0713 s²

Then take the roots

w = 0.267 this is radians per second / 2 x (3.1416 which is the pi)

w = 0.0424 rps convert to rpm

w = 0.0424 r/s (1minute / 60 seconds)

w = 7.08 x 10⁻⁴ revolutions per minute

What are the effects of gravity on earth?​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Without it, we could not survive on Earth. Earth orbits the sun due to the gravity of the sun, which maintains us at a convenient distance from it to enjoy the sun's warmth and light. It keeps the air we need to breathe and our atmosphere in place. Our planet is held together by gravity.
