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.
Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.30 s . If a rider's mass is 53.0 kg , with how much force does the ring push on her at the top of the ride?
Answer:
F_top = 385.36 N
Explanation:
We are given;
mass;m = 52 kg
Time;t = 4.3 s
Diameter;d = 16m
So,Radius;r = 16/2 = 8m
The formula for the centrifugal force is given as;
Given there are three blocks of masses , and (ref image in attachment)
When all three masses move together at an acceleration a, the force F is given by
F = ( + + ) *a ................(equation 1)
Also it is given that does not move with respect to , which gives tension T is exerted on pulley by only, Hence tension T is
T = *a ..........(equation 2)
There is also also tension exerted by . There are two components here: horizontal due to acceleration a and vertical component due to gravity g. Thus tension is given by
T = ................(equation 3)
From equation 2 and 3, we get
*a =
Squaring both sides we get
* = * (+)
* = ( * )+ ( *)
( - ) * = *
= */( - )
Taking square root on both sides, we get acceleration a
a = *g/()
Hence substituting the value of a in equation 1, we get
At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.
The potential difference is the drop in voltage that occurs across a resistor as current flows through it in a circuit, potential difference or voltage(V) = current (I) *resistance (R), or to abbrevate V = I*R. In this case, I = 5amps and R = 10 ohms, so V = 5 * 10 = 50volts
