As shown in Figure P8.49, the skateboarder starts from rest in a crouch-ing position at one lip of a half-pipe (point ). The half-pipe is one half of a cylinder of radius 6.80 m with its axis horizontal. On his descent, the skateboarder moves without friction so that his center of mass moves through one quarter of a circle of radius 630 m. (a) Find his speed at the bottom of the half-pipe (point (b) Immediately after passing point he stands up and raises his arms, lifting his center of mass from 0.500 in to 0.950 m above the concrete (point ). Next, the skateboarder glides upward with his center of mass moving in a quarter circle of radius 5.85 m. His body is horizontal when he passes point , the far lip of the half-pipe.
