Concept explainers
The impact of the maximum acceleration that a body can sustain on the design of the three common entertainments of transportation devices.
Answer to Problem 103A
The three devices that impacts the design due to the maximum acceleration for the human body are Roller coaster, Supersonic Jets and Giant swings.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The maximum acceleration that a human body can withstand is equal to the gravitational acceleration g. The value of the gravitational acceleration is
The gravitational acceleration gives the maximum force that a human body can withstand, so
it decides the design factors of the transportation devices. This impacts of the design of three following entertainment of transportation devices.
- Roller coaster
- Supersonic Jets
- Giant swings
Conclusion:
Thus, the gravitational acceleration is the maximum acceleration that a human body can withstand and the three devices are Roller coaster, Supersonic Jets and Giant swings.
