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?

Answer #1

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
