A bicyclist traveling with speed \(v=4.2 \ \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) on a flat road is making a turn with a radius \(=6.4 \ \mathrm{m}\). The forces acting on the cyclist and cycle are the normal force \(\left(\vec{F}_{N}\right)\) and friction force \(\left(\vec{F}_{f r}\right)\) exerted by the road on the tires, and \(m \vec{g}\), the total weight of the cyclist and cycle (see Fig. 8-56 ). (a) Explain carefully why the angle the bicycle makes with the vertical (Fig. 8-56 ) must be given by \(\tan \theta=F_{f r} / F_{N}\) if the cyclist is to maintain balance. (b) Calculate \(\theta\) for the values given. (c) If the coefficient of static friction between tires and road is \(\mu_{s}\) = 0.70, what is the minimum turning radius?

Problem 81GP Suppose David puts a 0.50-kg rock into a sling of length 1.5 m and begins whirling the rock in a nearly horizontal circle above his head, accelerating it from rest to a rate of 120 rpm after 5.0 s. What is the torque required to achieve this feat, and where does the torque come from?

You are designing a clutch assembly which consists of two cylindrical plates, of mass \(M_{\mathrm{A}}=6.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) and \(M_{\mathrm{B}}=9.0 \mathrm{~kg}\), with equal radii \(R=0.60 \mathrm{~m}\). They are initially separated (Fig. 8-57). Plate \(M_{\mathrm{A}}\) is accelerated from rest to an angular velocity \(\omega_1=7.2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) in time \(\Delta t=2.0 \mathrm{~s}\). Calculate (a) the angular momentum of \(M_{\mathrm{A}}\), and (b) the torque required to have accelerated \(M_{\mathrm{A}}\) from rest to \(\omega_1\). (c) Plate \(M_{\mathrm{B}}\), initially at rest but free to rotate without friction, is allowed to fall vertically (or pushed by a spring), so it is in firm contact with plate \(M_{\mathrm{A}}\) (their contact surfaces are high-friction). Before contact, \(M_{\mathrm{A}}\) was rotating at constant \(\omega_1\). After contact, at what constant angular velocity \(\omega_2\) do the two plates rotate?

Problem 86GP The tires of a car make 85 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 90.0 km/h to 60.0 km/h. The tires have a diameter of 0.90 m. (a) What was the angular acceleration of each tire? (b) If the car continues to decelerate at this rate, how much more time is required for it to stop?
