Answer:
Explanation:
When the central shaft rotates , the seat along with passenger also rotates . Their rotation requires a centripetal force of mw²R where m is mass of the passenger and w is the angular velocity and R is radius of the circle in which the passenger rotates.
This force is provided by a component of T , the tension in the rope from which the passenger hangs . If θ be the angle the rope makes with horizontal ,
T cos θ will provide the centripetal force . So
Tcosθ = mw²R
Tsinθ component will balance the weight .
Tsinθ = mg
Dividing the two equation
Tanθ =
Hence for a given w , θ depends upon g or weight .
