A student of weight 678 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude

of the normal force on the student from the seat is 586 N. (a) What is the magnitude of at the lowest point? If the wheel's speed is doubled, what is the magnitude FN at the (b) highest and (c) lowest point?

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of seat force at lowest point = 678 + 92 = 770

(b) Force exerted by the seat (highest point)  = 310 N

(c) Force exerted by seat (lowest point) = 1046 N

Explanation:

At the highest point the magnitude of force by the seat = 586 N

The weight of the student = 678 N

Thus, at the highest point, the difference in this force is due to the centrifugal force acting on the boy. This can be calculated as follows:

Centrifugal Force = 678 - 586 = 92 N

(a) The magnitude of force on the student by the seat at the lowest point will have to appose both the student's weight and centrifugal force acting towards the ground. This would mean:

Magnitude of seat force at lowest point = 678 + 92 = 770 N

(b) If the wheel's speed is doubled, the centrifugal force will change accordingly. The equation of centrifugal force is given below:

F = m * v^2 / r

We can see from this that the force is directly proportional to the square of the velocity. So if the velocity is doubled, the centrifugal force increases four times.

So at the highest point the centrifugal force will decrease the force of weight acting on the seat. The seat force would then be:

Force exerted by the seat = Weight - Centrifugal force

Force exerted by the seat = 678 - (4 * 92)

Force exerted by the seat (highest point)  = 310 N

(c) The force exerted by the seat at the lowest point will be the centrifugal force plus the weight.

This is:

Force exerted by seat = Centrifugal force + Weight

Force exerted by seat = (4 * 92) + 678

Force exerted by seat (lowest point) = 1046 N

What is the objective of playing basagang palayok?the goal what is the goal of playing basang palayok ​
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

At first glance, it looked like a group of kids-at-heart playing traditional Filipino games under the sun. But up close the games were played by public school teachers staging a unique protest to demand government to prioritize their welfare.

Some 100 members of the Teacher’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) from Metro Manila staged what they called “Palarong Pampista” at the Plaza Miranda in Manila yesterday to demand salary increases this year.

The protest is part of the “Protest de Mayo” launched by TDC earlier this month to call for a P10,000 across-the-board increase in salaries of government teachers and the scrapping of the performance-based bonus of the Aquino government which they described as “deceptive, unfair and divisive.”

During the protest, teachers played traditional fiesta games like Palo Sebo and Basagang Palayok “to demonstrate their sacrifices for the country despite the inadequate compensation from the government.”

TDC National Chairperson Benjo Basas said Palo Sebo and Basagang Palayok were symbols of how the government is treating public school teachers.

Palo Sebo, a popular fiesta game in which contestants climb a greased bamboo in order to get the money prize at the top, is the same as the government’s performance-based bonus or PBB, Basas said.

“It promises a cash prize, but teachers and employees need to fight and pull others down in order to be on top,” he explained.

The Basagang Palayok is also another popular fiesta game where the players’ objective is to hit the hanging pot with prizes. Basas said that in this game, “the player is blindfolded, and like the P10,000 salary increase demand, the prize is uncertain and the players must make all the effort and pass the obstacles.”

Earlier, Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that the Department of Education (DepEd) “recognizes the right of our teachers to raise their concerns publicly.”

“We will not object to any measure that will help public school teachers,” said Luistro. “As long as there is adequate funding, a raise in teachers’ salaries will be welcome,” he said.

However, while DepEd expressed support to the plight of public school teachers for salary increase, Luistro enjoined “certain groups not to take any action that greatly affects the delivery of basic services to our learners.”

TDC, a 30,000-strong group, has set several other unique mass actions until the resumption of classes in June 2 in all public elementary and secondary schools nationwide.
