The “Giant Swing” at a county fair consists of a vertical central shaft with a number of horizontal arms attached at its upper end. (See Figure 6.28.) Each arm supports a seat suspended from a 5.00-m-long rod, the upper end of which is fastened to the arm at a point 3.00 m from the central shaft. (a) Make a free-body diagram of the seat, including the person in it. (b) Find the time of one revolution of the swing if the rod supporting the seat makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. (c) Does the angle depend on the weight of the passenger for a given rate of revolution?

- A 36.0-kg child swings in a swing supported by two chains, each 3.08 m long. The tension in each chain at the lowest point is 410 N. (a) Find the child's speed at the lowest point.(b) Find the force exerted by the seat on the child at the lowest point. (Ignore the mass of the seat.)arrow_forwardImagine you are at a carnival. At the carnival is ride that has a chair attached to ta 9m long chain that attaches a chair at the end of the chain to a tower that spins around in a circle. The angle of the chain is 20 degrees to the vertical. The angle will stay at 20 degrees as the chair moves in a horizontal circle. The chair makes 1 revolution in 5 seconds. You estimate that the weight of the chair and the rider is 150kg maximum. The chain can withstand 3000N before it breaks. Will the chain brake?arrow_forwardConsider the Atwood machine shown in the figure, where m, = 2.00 kg and m, = 7.65 kg. The system starts at rest, then the sphere is given a quick push downward, giving it an initial speed of 2.35 m/s. Assume the pulley and cord are massless, and the cord is inextensible. Neglect friction. (a) Through what distance (in m) will m, descend? (b) What is the velocity (in m/s) of m, after 1.80 s? magnitude m/s direction ---Select---arrow_forward

- Christian is making a Tyrolean traverse as shown in the figure. That is, he traverses a chasm by stringing a rope between a tree on one side of the chasm and a tree on the opposite side, 25 m away. The rope must sag sufficiently so it won't break. Assume the rope can provide a tension force of up to 26 kN before breaking, and use a "safety factor" of 10 (that is, the rope should only be required to undergo a tension force of 2.6 kN) at the center of the Tyrolean traverse.

Narrow_forwardTwo ideal pulleys (massless and frictionless) form a pulley system that can lift a weight by pulling on the end of a massless rope, as shown below. The upper pulley is attached to the ceiling at point A, and the lower pulley is connected to a box of mass M = 10.0kg.
