There is a new amusement park under construction in town and the
manager of the project has hired
you to design a "Zero-Gravity" room.
(a) Based on your knowledge of nature of electric charge and
electric forces, how will you design
such a facility? Comment on components of the room, and explain how
it will work for walk in
customers? What would be the safety concerns and measures?
(b) Assume that your design has been approved and facility has been
constructed. Your manager has
asked you to demonstrate the operation of the room. You decided to
show him weightlessness
using your own body. In your design of part (a), what parameters
will you set for this demon-
stration? (You should choose the parameters to counter the value of
your weight, for simplicity
you can approximate your body as a point like particle).
