You are riding on a Ferris wheel while standing on a scale. The scale normally reads 1500 lbs. (Did I mention you're a robot made of incredibly heavy metal?) While you are riding, you notice your weight on the scale changing. At the TOP of the Ferris wheel, you weigh only 1430 lbs. The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 230 m. How much time does it take the Ferris wheel to make one full turn? (Give answer in seconds).

Assuming the Eq.(3) in the text is valid, what period of rotation of a mass of 0.365 kg is to be expected for rotation radius of 0.140 m, if the outward pull which counters the spring inward pull for vertical mass-hanging string position at 0.140 m is delivered by a mass of 0.680 kg (pan included)? Use 9.810 m/s^2 for the acceleration of gravity.
2. If the quantities measured in order to verify Eq.(3) were obtained with values as in Problem 1, estimate the fractional error (%) on the left side and on the right side of the equation. Use the uncertainties originating from the precision of the measuring equipment: the pulling mass is measured by slotted weights with 10 gram increment (uncertainty +/- 5 gram), the rotating mass is measured by a beam balance with uncertainty 0.1 gram, the rotating radius is measured by a meter stick with 1mm divisions (uncertainty +/- 1 mm), and the period of rotation is determined by measuring the time for 10 revolutions, with 0.5 s uncertainty of that time due to the human reaction at operating of stop watch.
Eq.(3) --> F= 4pi^2(mr)/T^2

A single point charge +Q is at the center of a thin spherical
sheet that carries a net charge of – 3Q and has a radius of a. Your
goal is to calculate the electric field at a distance r away from
the center of the spherical sheet.
(A) Draw the situation below. Represent a in your diagram. You
should NOT have r in your diagram.
(B) Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field when r < a
(i.e., inside the spherical sheet). a. What surface should you use
in order to do this? Draw this surface on your diagram above. b.
Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field inside the
spherical shell.
(C) Use Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field when r > a
(i.e., outside the spherical shell) a. What surface should you use
in order to do this. Draw this surface on the diagram above. b. Use
Gauss’s law to calculate the electric field outside the spherical
shell.
(D) On the coordinate axes below, plot the electric field magnitude
as a function of r. Hint: The electric field is a piece-wise
defined function with different expressions in different
regions

A 3.3 kg object is pulled by 4 ropes. One rope is used to pull the object 15° North of East with a force of 25 N. A second rope pulls it due south with a force of 15 N. A third pulls the object 22° west of north with a 36 N magnitude. If the object is moving due west with a constant acceleration (a=1.0 m/s^2 ), describe the force (magnitude and direction) applied by the 4th rope.
