Step 1
Step 1: The Coriolis acceleration is given by the formula: $$a_c = 2 \omega \times v$$ where: * $a_c$ is the Coriolis acceleration * $\omega$ is the angular velocity * $v$ is the velocity of the object Show more…

A large centrifuge, like the one shown in Figure $6.37(\mathrm{a})$ is used to expose aspiring astronauts to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and atmospheric reentries. (a) At what angular velocity is the centripetal acceleration $10 g$ if the rider is $15.0 \mathrm{m}$ from the center of rotation? (b) The rider's cage hangs on a pivot at the end of the arm, allowing it to swing outward during rotation as shown in Figure $6.37(\mathrm{b}) .$ At what angle $\theta$ below the horizontal will the cage hang when the centripetal acceleration is $10 \mathrm{g}$ ? (Hint: The arm supplies centripetal force and supports the weight of the cage. Draw a free body diagram of the forces to see what the angle $\theta$ should be.) (a) NASA centrifuge and ride (b) Figure 6.37 (a) NASA centrifuge used to subject trainees to accelerations similar to those experienced in rocket launches and reentries. (credit: NASA) (b) Rider in cage showing how the cage pivots outward during rotation. This allows the total force exerted on the rider by the cage to be along its axis at all times.
66.2 the step pulleys shown in the figure below are connected by a crossed belt. if the angular acceleration of C is 2 rad/s^2, what time is required for A to travel 180ft from rest? Through what distance will D move while A is moving 240 ft/s? Answer: tsubA = 6.71 s and S = 180 ft. Show solution
