Chapter 5, Problem 47P
Figure P5.47 shows a photo of a swing ride at an amusement park. The structure consists of a horizontal, rotating, circular platform of diameter D from which seats of mass m are suspended at the end of massless chains of length d. When the system rotates at constant speed, the chains swing outward and make an angle θ with the vertical. Consider such a ride with the following parameters: D = 8.00 m, d = 2.50 m, m = 10.0 kg, and θ = 28.0°. (a) What is the speed of each seat? (b) Draw a diagram of forces acting on a 40.0-kg child riding in a seat and (c) find the tension in the chain.

- A student is attempting to push his stalled car out of an intersection with his girlfriend at the wheel. The car and girlfriend has a combined mass of m = 999 kg. Unfortunately the hill has an incline of θ = 3.6 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The student can supply a force of F = 883 N for t = 24 s before tiring. What is the furthest the edge of the intersection can be d in meters from the stalled car in order to make it out in one push. Assume no rolling resistance from the car and that his girlfriend brakes to bring the car to a stop when he stops pushing. I got these hints: -Start with free body diagram.
