Question

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 3.0 rev/s in 12.0 s. At this point the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub slows to rest in 11.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn during this 23 s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.

A roller-coaster vehicle has a mass of 509 kg when fully loaded with passengers (Fig. P7.28).

A 54.2 kg ice skater is moving at 3.94 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole. She then moves in a circle of radius 0.795 m around the pole.

Explanation / Answer

a) Fn = mg + m*v^2/r


Fn = 509*9.8 + 509.17^2/10

Fn = 5303.21 N
