A 60 kg adult and a 30kg child are passengers on a rotor ride at an amusement park as shown in the diagram above. When the rotat

ing hollow cylinder reaches a certain constant speed, v, the floor moves downward. Both passengers stay "pinned" against the wall of the rotor, as shown in the diagram below.
The magnitude of the frictional force between the adult and the wall of the spinning rotor is F. What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the child and the wall of the spinning rotor?

Answer:

 fr ’= ½ F

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation, on the axis parallel to the wall

              fr - W = 0

              fr = W

for the adult man they indicate that the friction force is equal to F

              F = M g

we write the equilibrium equation for the child

             fr ’= w’

             fr ’= m g

in the statement they tell us that the mass of the adult is 2 times the mass of the child

             M = 2m

we substitute

            fr ’= M / 2 g

            fr ’= ½ Mg

we substitute

            fr ’= ½ F

therefore the force of friction in the child is half of the friction in the adult

kumpel [21]

Answer:

m = \frac{k}{g} x,

graph of x vs m

Explanation:

For this exercise, the simplest way to determine the mass of the cylinder is to take a spring and hang the mass, measure how much the spring has stretched and calculate the mass, using the translational equilibrium equation

              F_e -W = 0

              k x = m g

              m = \frac{k}{g} x

We are assuming that you know the constant k of the spring, if it is not known you must carry out a previous step, calibrate the spring, for this a series of known masses are taken and hung by measuring the elongation (x) from the equilibrium position, with these data a graph of x vs m is made to serve as a spring calibration.

  In the latter case, the elongation measured with the cylinder is found on the graph and the corresponding ordinate is the mass

An insulated lamp bulb is on the bottom of a swimming pool at a point 2.5 m from a wall; the pool is 2.5 m deep and filled to th
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

lamp position from pool wall = 2.5 m

height of the pool = 2.5 m

now,

tan \theta = \dfrac{P}{B}

\theta =tan^{-1}(\dfrac{2.5}{2.5})

\theta =45^0

from the triangle

θ = i = 45°

using Snell's law

n₁ sin i = n₂ sin r

n₁ =4/3     n₂ = 1  

now,

\dfrac{sin r}{sin i}=\dfrac{n_1}{n_2}

\dfrac{sin r}{sin 45^0}=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{3}}{1}

sin r=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\times \dfrac{4}{3}

r = sin⁻¹(0.9428)

r = 70.5°

hence, the correct answer is option A
