Chapter 5 Problem 104P

Question

You are riding in a school bus. As the bus rounds a flat curve at constant speed, a lunch box with mass 0.500 kg, suspended from the ceiling of the bus by a string 1.80 m long, is found to hang at rest relative to the bus when the string makes an angle of 30.0o with the vertical. In this position the lunch box is 50.0 m from the curve’s center of curvature. What is the speed v of the bus?

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 137 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: You are riding in a school bus. As the bus rounds a flat curve at constant speed, a lunch box with mass 0.500 kg, suspended from the ceiling of the bus by a string 1.80 m long, is found to hang at rest relative to the bus when the string makes an angle of 30.0o with the vertical. In this position the lunch box is 50.0 m from the curve’s center of curvature. What is the speed v of the bus?
From the textbook chapter Momentum, Impulse, and Collisions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
