The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s). (a) Find the speed of the passengers when the Ferris wheel is rotating at this rate.

The 'Giant Swing' at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end. Each arm supports a seat suspended from a cable 5.00 m long, and the upper end of the cable is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft (Fig. E5.50). (a) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the cable supporting a seat makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical.

The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s). (d) What then would be the passenger's apparent weight at the lowest point?

The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s).(c) What would be the time for one revolution if the passenger's apparent weight at the highest point were zero?

The Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which can function as a second hand (so that it makes one revolution every 60.0 s). (b) A passenger weighs 882 N at the weight-guessing booth on the ground. What is his apparent weight at the highest and at the lowest point on the Ferris wheel?

A small car with mass 0.800 kg travels at constant speed on the inside of a track that is a vertical circle with radius 5.00 m (Fig. E5.45). If the normal force exerted by the track on the car when it is at the top of the track (point B) is 6.00 N, what is the normal force on the car when it is at the bottom of the track (point A)?

A small remote-controlled car with mass 1.60 kg moves at a constant speed of υ = 12.0 m/s in a track formed by a vertical circle inside a hollow metal cylinder that has a radius of 5.00 m (Fig. E5.45). What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the car by the walls of the cylinder at (b) point B (top of the track)?

A small remote-controlled car with mass 1.60 kg moves at a constant speed of υ = 12.0 m/s in a track formed by a vertical circle inside a hollow metal cylinder that has a radius of 5.00 m (Fig. E5.45). What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the car by the walls of the cylinder at (a) point A (bottom of the track)

A 52-kg ice skater spins about a vertical axis through her body with her arms horizontally outstretched; she makes 2.0 turns each second. The distance from one hand to the other is 1.50 m. Biometric measurements indicate that each hand typically makes up about 1.25% of body weight. (b) What horizontal force must her wrist exert on her hand?
