Chapter 5, Problem 41P
Riders on the “Great American Revolution” loop-the-loop roller coaster of Example 5.7 wear seatbelts as the roller coaster negotiates its 6.3-m-radius loop at 9.7 m/s. At the top of the loop, what are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a 60-kg rider (a) by the roller-coaster seat and (b) by the seatbelt? (c) What would happen if the rider unbuckled at this point?

A 1800 kgkg car starts from rest and drives around a flat 50-mm-diameter circular track. The forward force provided by the car's drive wheels is a constant 1000 NN .
A)What is the magnitude of the car's acceleration at t=13s ?
B) What is the direction of the car's acceleration at t=13s? Give the direction as an angle from the r-axis.
c) If the car has rubber tires and the track is concrete, at what time does the car begin to slide out of the circle?
On the ride “Spindletop” at the amusement park Six Flags Over Texas, people stood against the inner wall of a hollow vertical cylinder with radius 2.5 m. The cylinder started to rotate, and when it reached a constant rotation rate of 0.60 rev/s, the floor dropped about 0.5 m. The people remained pinned against the wall without touching the floor. (a) Draw a force diagram for a person on this ride after the floor has dropped. (b) What minimum coefficient of static friction was required for the person not to slide downward to the new position of the floor? (c) Does your answer in part (b) depend on the person’s mass? (Note: When such a ride is over, the cylinder is slowly brought to rest. As it slows down, people slide down the wall to the floor.)
