You work for the National Park Service testing a small cannon used to prevent avalanches by shooting down snow overhanging the sides of mountains. In order to determine the range of the cannon, it is necessary to know the speed with which the projectile leaves the cannon (muzzle speed), relative to the ground. The cannon you are testing has a weight of 500 lbs. and shoots a 20-lb. projectile. During lab tests where the cannon is held and cannot move, the muzzle speed is 400 m/s. You want to calculate the projectile's muzzle speed with respect to the ground under field conditions when the cannon is mounted so that it is free to move (recoil) when fired. You take the case where the cannon is fired horizontally using the same shells as in the laboratory.

A 2.00 m long uniform steel bar rests on the ground and against the wall. Both the wall and the ground are frictionless. THe steel bar makes an angle of 50 degrees with the ground. To keep the steel bar in static equilibrium, a horizontal wite attaches the steel bar at 0.500m from the bottom to the wall. The mass of the steel bar is 60kg.
a) Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces on the steel bar b) Using total force =0 write down the equations for both x and y directions. Then solve or simplify the equations as much as you can. c) Choose a point at the axis of rotation and write down all the torques (with sign) based on your choice of rotational axis. Then using total toorque=0, solve all the unknown forces on the steel bar

A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a
radius of r0 and a density of ρ0 is placed in
a container of water. Initially the sphere floats and the water
level is marked on the side of the container. What happens to the
water level, when the original sphere is replaced with a new sphere
which has different physical parameters? Notation: r means the
water level rises in the container, f means falls, s means stays
the same. Combination answers like 'f or s' are possible answers in
some of the cases i.e r or s, f or s, and r or f or s.
The new sphere has a density of ρ > ρ0
and a radius of r = r0.
The new sphere has a mass of m = m0 and a density of ρ
> ρ0.

The new sphere has a radius of r < r0 and a density
of ρ > ρ0.
The new sphere has a mass of m < m0 and a density of ρ >

Assignment – The World’s Largest Ferris Wheels
The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel located in Singapore.
Described by its
operators as an observation wheel, it reaches 42 stories high, with
a total height of 165 m,
making it the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Situated on the
southeast tip of the
Marina Centrereclaimed land, it comprises a 150 m diameter wheel,
built over a three-
story terminal building which houses shops, bars and restaurants.
Each of the 28 air-
conditioned capsules is capable of holding 28 passengers, and a
complete rotation of the
wheel takes about 30 minutes.
The Star of Nanchang is a 160-metre tall giant Ferris wheel located
in the eastern Chinese
city of Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province. A single
rotation takes approximately 30
minutes; the slow rotation speed allows passengers to embark and
disembark without the
wheel having to stop turning.( the diameter is 153)
The 190.5 m New York Wheel is going to be constructed at Staten
Island, New York
Cityalong with the Harbor Commons retail complex.A single ride will
last about 38 minutes.
The construction began in May 2015, withthe gaol of opening the
attraction by April 2018.(
the diameter is 183)
Your Task
1. Calculate the speed of these three Ferris wheels in
metres/minute. ( 6 marks)
2. Design a Ferris wheel of your own, with a diameter somewhere
between 160 m and
190.5 m. Your Ferris wheel should be faster than the slowest of
those above, but
not as fast as the fastest.Use mathematics to justify that your
Ferris wheel meets
these specifications.
3. Draw a scale diagram of your Ferris wheels. ( 1 mark)
4. On the same coordinate system, draw two curves modelling the
height of a
passenger with respect to time for 1 of the three and your wheels.
Draw at least
two cycles for each Ferris wheel. Start each cycle at the height
where the
passenger gets on the wheel. (Hint: Determine the period,
amplitude, and equation
of the axis for each graph.)
