The "Giant Swing" at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper e

nd. Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00 m long, the upper end of the cable being fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft. Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?

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 = \frac{g}{\omega^2R}

Hence for a given w , θ depends upon g or weight .

Answer:

In the expression the mass is cancelled out and angle is independent of the weight of the person

Explanation:

Let the swing is rotating with constant angular speed

now due to rotation of swing the string will make some angle with the vertical

now we have

Tcos\theta = mg

T sin\theta = m\omega^2 r

now we will have

tan\theta = \frac{\omega^2 r}{g}

here we know that

r = R + L sin\theta

where

R = 3.00 m

L = 5.00 m

Now as we can see the above expression the mass is cancelled out and angle is independent of the weight of the person

What is the role of equations in this course?
Karolina [17]
That will depend on which course you're talking about. It will be a minor role in, say, Maritime Law or Comparitive Religion, but a major one in, say, Particle Physics or Linear Algebra.

If you had an unlimited amount of mass to hang, what would be the range of possible accelerations for the system?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The entire cart/hanging mass system follows the same law, ΣF = ma. This means that plotting force vs. acceleration yields a linear relationship (of the form y = mx).

Work done = force * distance moved (in direction of the force)

force= mass* acceleration 

force=58.1N

58.1*(5.8*10^4)
