The rotation of the earth causes a centrifugal effect on a mass near the surface of the earth. This slightly changes the effective acceleration due to gravity. We can call the old acceleration due to gravity go and the effective acceleration geff. a. Show that the angle between go and geff can be expressed as /55'R sin(e) cos(0)) = tan Go - Ns/s, R sin²(0) where 0 is the angle between the angular velocity of earth and the position of the mass near the surface of the earth. b. How small that o if 0 is 45° and R is the radius of the earth. m Tm/S
3. A physics student takes a scale onto the roller coaster, places it on the seat and sits on it and takes a ride. The scale reads her weight, 600 N when she is at rest. While going around the loop of radius R = 7.5 m, she looks down and sees that the scale reads 300 N as she passes through the top of the loop (at A). В A. How fast is she traveling at that instant in time?
A bead of mass m slides without friction along a curved wire with shape z = f(r) where r = Vx2 + y?, i.e. the distance from the z-axis. The wire is rotated around the z-axis at a constant angular velocity w. Gravity acts downward along the z-axis with a constant acceleration g. a) Using Newton's second law in an inertial frame, derive an expression for radius ro of a fixed circular orbit (i.e. a solution with r = ro = const.). What is the normal force the wire applies to the bead to keep it in a circular orbit? b) Show that the equation of motion for r(t) (general equation not the circular motion) is F(1+ f'(r)²) + r² f' (r)f" (r) + gf'(r) - w²r = 0. Using this verify your answer to part (a). c) Consider small displacements from the circular orbit, r = ro+e(t). Derive a condition on the function f(r) such that a circular orbit at r = ro is stable. d) Find the force on the bead in the o direction, i.e. perpendicular to the plane of wire.
