At an amusement park there is a ride in which cylindrically shaped chambers spin around a central axis. People sit in seats facing the axis, their backs against the outer wall. At one instant the outer wall moves at a speed of 3.09 m/s, and an 56.8-kg person feels a 343-N force pressing against his back. What is the radius of a chamber?
m = 56.8 kg, F = 343 N
v = 3.09 m/s
F = m v2 / r
radius r = m v2 / F
= (56.8 * 3.092) / (343)
radius of a chamber = 1.58 m

There is a classic amusement park ride where people stand with their backs pressed against the side of a large cylinder that will rotate around, moving faster and faster. Eventually, the cylinder is spinning fast enough that the floor can drop away and the force from the wall on the people is large enough to hold them up (so they do not slip downward on the wall, even when the floor drops away and their feet no longer are toughing...
Constants | Periodic Table Part A In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 5.1-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against the wall. The cylinder begins to rotate about a vertical axis. Then the floor on which the passengers are standing suddenly drops away! If all goes well, the passengers will "stick" to the wall and not slide. Clothing has a static coefficient of friction against steel in the range 0.64 to 1.0 and a kinetic coefficient...
11. “The Rotor”. The amusement park ride known as “the rotor”, essentially a large hollow cylinder, rotates rapidly about a central axis. Riders stand on the floor up against the wall of this ride before it begins to rotate. Once the ride starts, all riders, the wall, and floor begin to rotate rapidly and undergo uniform circular motion. When the rotation speeds reaches a certain value, the floors fall away and the riders are held pinned against the wall where...
An amusement park ride has a vertical cylinder with an inner radius of 4 m, which rotates about its vertical axis. Riders stand inside against the carpeted surface and rotate with the cylinder while it accelerates to its full angular velocity. At that point the floor drops away and friction between the riders and the cylinder prevents them from sliding downward. The coefficient of static friction between the riders and the cylinder is 0.91. What minimum angular velocity in radians/second...
