a)
b)
What critical velocity must
the brick achieve in order to
pass safely through the top
of its circular path?
If it continues to go at this
speed (unlikely), then what
would be the tension at the
bottom of the path?
a)
b)
c)
Find the speed of the rider if he
just makes it around the top of
the curve.
What is the value of the normal
force at the top if he’s going
10m/s more?
Going at this speed, what is the
normal force he experiences at
the bottom of the loop?
 How
fast would you need to be traveling
to experience apparent "weightlessness"
while passing over the crest?
a)
b)
Find the speed of the bucket.
How fast must the bucket move at the
top of the circle so that the rope does
not go slack?
