- A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P5.59. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle θ that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical.

We know the total mass of the skateboard and skateboarder is m = 95 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between the surface of the parking lot and the wheels of the skateboard is μs = 0.66 .

The ride you are controlling consists of a large vertical cylinder that spins about its axis fast enough that any person inside is held up against the wall when the floor drops away (Fig. P6.7). The coefficient of static friction between a person of mass m and the wall is ms, and the radius of the cylinder is R. You are rotating the ride with an angular speed v suggested by your supervisor.

(b) Suppose someone enters the ride wearing a very slip-pery satin workout outfit. In this case, do you need to increase the angular speed so that this person will not slide down the wall?arrow_forward
- A bead of mass m slides without friction along a curved wire with shape z = f(r) where r = Vr2 + y², 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) + i² f'(r)f"(r) + gf'(r) – w?r = 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.
