TIP FOR THIS CHAPTER:
 
We define  vector-FNET  as the centripetal force. As fig 8.17 suggests,  vector-FNET points toward the center.  In other words, at any position on a circle,  we define the positive direction to be toward the  center.

We use the same method as in Chapters 5, 6 and 7.  Mar = pos - neg, where ar  = V2/r is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration pointing to the center; "pos"  and "neg" denote  the magnitude of the positively and negatively directed force, respectively. V = magnitude of ( tangential ) velocity.

Remember the positive direction is toward the center of the circle !

Mar = pos - neg, where ar  = V2/r .
4. Centripetal force always points toward the center of the circle of motion. For the cause in this case, see class notes and also problem 5 below. 
5. MV2/r = | friction force |. Solve for the magnitude fs of the friction force. Note that fs  is not necessarily at maximum value.  However, when it reaches that value , the car will "spin out" .  Drive safely.
8. See example 8.5
9. MV2/r = | gravitational  force |.

M and r are listed in table at back of book. You need V = 6.28r/T', where T' = period = 27.3 days. Convert to seconds by remembering  there are 24 hours/day, and 3600 seconds/hour.   The magnitude of gravitational force = "tension" force in the imaginary ( and long !) string.

10. The  force on the object rounding the circle is  centripetal; that force always points to the circle center. The vertically upward normal force balances the downward weight mg, so the net vertical force is zero. But the net horizontal normal force pointing to the center supplies the centripetal force necessary  to move in the circle.  
MV2/r = pos - neg = N - 0 = N
MV2/r = N, where N is the magnitude of the horizontal  normal force.  Get V from 60 rpm. 
The angular velocity (in rad /s) = w = (60 rev/min)*(6.28 rad/rev)*(1/60) (min/s) = 6.28 rad/s.
Now, V = w*r.  Compute MV2/r. Remember to convert to kg and to meters (m).
11. V2/r  =| gravitational acceleration | . Now V = 6.28r/T', where T' = period = 110 min. Convert to seconds by remembering  there are 60 seconds/min. For r, see table  at back of book
13. See "Stop To Think 8.4", page 226. Also see fig. 8.17 which  is for a slightly different problem. But both problems reduce to this: The centripetal force points to the center of the circle.

We define  vector-FNET  as the centripetal force. As fig 8.17 suggests,  vector-FNET points toward the center.  In other words, at any position on circle,  we define the positive direction to be toward the  center. Thus,  in the case of "Stop To Think 8.4", the positive direction is  down toward the center of the circle defined by the hump in the road.

We use the same method as in Chapters 5, 6 and 7.  Mar = pos - neg, where ar  = V2/r is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration pointing to the center; "pos"  and "neg" denote  the magnitude of the positively and negatively directed force, respectively.

Remember the positive direction is toward the center of the circle !

Thus for this problem:
Mar = pos - neg
MV2/r   =  mg - N. Solve for V when N = 0.  Refer to  "Stop To Think 8.4," p 226.
18. Use equations  8.25 , page 226.  The initial tangential velocity is zero.  Find the change in time under the following condition: Vft2/r =  at = 1.5 m/s2.  In other words, Vft2  = (100 m)·(1.5 m/s2)  . Solve for Vft  and use one of  equations 8.25 to find the change in time.  Note you could also use equations 8.26 and 8.27.
35. This classic, but not like coca-cola. It's better than that: First of  all,  the horizontal circle's radius is r =  0.20 m. 

Mar = pos - neg
MV2/r   =  TsinØ - 0, where T = tension magnitude and TsinØ is the horizontal component pointing toward the center. Thus we are using the  angle  Ø = sin-1 (0.20/1).   
MV2/r   =  TsinØ.  We can write:
(A) MV2/r   =  T·(0.20)
We want to eliminate T by finding another equation. We can do this be summing the forces in the vertical  i.e.  z direction:
FNETz = pos - neg
0 = TcosØ - mg,  where  cos2Ø = 1 - sin2Ø = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96. Thus:
(B) mg = TcosØ

Solve equations (A) and (B) for T and V. From V you can find the angular speed w = V/r;  Convert to  rpm's  by dividing  by 6.28 and converting  seconds to minutes. 
38. 
mat    = pos - neg  
ma= 0 - fk   
mat   = -µkN.

You have to find the normal force magnitude in each case as discussed with problems on "humps" and "dips" in the road. For the dip N  >  mg; for the hump N < mg as long as the car is in contact with the ground.  For the  horizontally flat section, N = mg. Find a in each case. 

39. 
(a) Compute mg in Newtons. 

(b) and (c)
Mar = pos - neg
At top, pos is down: 
MVtop2/r   =  mg + Ttop  - 0
MVtop2/r   =  mg + Ttop
At bottom, pos is up: 
MVbot2/r   =  Tbot  -  mg
Find the tensions at the top and bottom. 
41. See figures 8.17, 8.18 and 8.19.  These should explain it well. First of all get the speed V = 6.28r/T', where T' = 4.5 seconds. 
(a)  Find the normal force at the top and bottom:
Mar = pos - neg
At top, pos is down: 
MV2/r   =  mg +  Ntop -  0
MV2/r   =  mg + Ntop
At bottom, pos is up: 
MV2/r   =  Nbot  -  mg
Find the N at the top and bottom. 
(b) 
At top, pos is down: 
MV2/r   =  mg +  Ntop -  0
MV2/r   =  mg + Ntop  
Set the normal force at top to zero. The solve for the speed. Then find the new period T'. 
46. 
The vertical Newton's equation for the hanging mass gives: 
m2g = T 
The horizontal  Newton's equation for the orbiting  mass on table gives: 

Mar = pos - neg, where ar  = V2/r .

Thus,
 m1V2/r = T

Solve for V in terms of symbols.
