In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown in Figure P6.50. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of 68.0° above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is 0.330 m, what rate of revolution is needed?

In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown in Figure P7.61. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of0 = 68.0° above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.330 m, what rate of revolution is needed in revolutions per second?
In a home laundry dryer, a cylindrical tub containing wet clothes is rotated steadily about a horizontal axis, as shown in the figure below. So that the clothes will dry uniformly, they are made to tumble. The rate of rotation of the smooth-walled tub is chosen so that a small piece of cloth will lose contact with the tub when the cloth is at an angle of 0 = 62.5° above the horizontal. If the radius of the tub is r = 0.385 m, what rate of revolution is needed in revolutions per second? rev/s
Last summer, the sprinkler system in in your friend’s back yard broke. He decided to water the lawn by swinging the garden hose in a circle around his head at a radius of 5 ft. Initially, he rotated the hose at a rate of 75 deg/sec while speeding up at a rate of 15 deg/sec^2. The water is flowing through the hose at a constant velocity of 10 ft/sec. Assume the hose lies on a horizontal plane. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity (in ft/s) and acceleration (in ft/s^2) of a water particle as is exits the end of the hose.

A variation of the amusement park ride discussed in Problem 11 is the Gravitron, which consists of a rotating cylinder, where riders stand with their backs against the inner surface of the cylinder (see image). As the cylinder rotates faster, riders get stuck to the wall. The effect is great enough, that in some rides, the floor even drops away. Let’s model the Gravitron as a rotating cylinder with vertical walls. The radius of the cylinder is 5.5 m. At one point during the ride, the speed of the Gravitron is 24 rpm, at which point a rider slides down the wall at constant speed. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the rider and the wall?
There is a clever kitchen gadget for drying lettuce leaves after you wash them. It consists of a cylindrical container mounted so that it can be rotated about its axis by turning a hand crank. The outer wall of the cylinder is perforated with small holes. You put the wet leaves in the container and turn the crank to spin off the water. The radius of the container is 15.0 cm. When the cylinder is rotating at 1.64 revolutions per second, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration at the outer wall?
A skateboarder is attempting to make a circular arc of radius r = 14 m in a parking lot. The total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 89 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.59 . What is the maximum speed, in meters per second, he can travel through the arc without slipping?
A carnival ride tests your courage by putting you in a situation that would appear dangerous. A person with a mass of 75.3 kg steps into a cylindrical tube that has a radius of 4.1 m. The tube begins to rotate around its center axis. As the speed of rotation increases, the passenger feels pushed against the wall of the tube. When the tube is rotating rapidly, the floor drops out. Luckily, there is a coefficient of static friction between the passenger and the wall, which keeps them from falling. If the value of that coefficient is 0.501, then what is the minimum speed that the passenger must be moving at?
Two bugs, Buzz and Crunchy, are siting on a spinning disk on a horizontal plane. Buzz is sitting halfway and Crunchy is sitting at the outer edge as shown. The radius of the disk is 0.80 m and the disk is rotating with an angular speed of 38 rpm. The coefficient of friction between the bugs and the disk are us = 0.80 and uk = 0.60. What is the magnitude of the friction force on Buzz, in Newtons? Buzz has a mass of 2.0 kg (I know, a big bug!). Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement. Crunchy
One end of a string of length 0.64 m is attached to a bucket containing water and the bucket is rotated about the other end in a vertical circle. Find the minimum speed with which it can be rotated without spilling the water at the highest point. How many revolutions per minute it is making?
There is a CD-rom that's spinning a CD at 2,000 rpm. There is a bit of dirt, weighing 0.220 g, attached to the CD 3.50 cm from the centre. What must the force of friction between the CD and the dirt be so that the bit of dirt continues to rotate in a circle and doesn't fly off? Give your answers in units of mN (millinewton), to three significant figures
A particle of dust lands 41.4 mm from the center of a compact disc (CD) that is 120 mmin diameter. The CD speeds up from rest, and the dust particle is ejected when the CD is rotating at 82.0 revolutions per minute. What is the coefficient of static friction between the particle and the surface of the CD?
