Chapter 4, Problem 34PQ
A graduate student discovers that the only centrifuge in the laboratory is malfunctioning. The angular speed ω was supposed to be adjustable, but now it is stuck on a high angular speed, and the student is running an experiment that requires a low translational speed. Fortunately, the arm is adjustable. What can the student do to the length of the arm to get the correct translational speed?

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 42.4 feet. The bottom of the Ferris wheel sits 0.8 feet above
the ground. You board the Ferris wheel at the 6 o'clock position and rotate counter-
clockwise.
a. Define a function, f that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the
angle of rotation (measured in radians) you have swept out from the 6 o'clock
position, a
f(a)-42.4sin(a)+43.2

b. Define a function, g, that gives your height above the ground (in feet) in terms of the
number of feet you have rotated counter-clockwise from the 6 o'clock position, s.
g(s)=43.2+42.2sin(s/42.4)

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?arrow_forward
