PROBLEM 12.66
An advanced spatial disorientation trainer allows the cab to rotate around
multiple axes as well as extend inwards and outwards. It can be used to
simulate driving, fixed wing aircraft flying, and helicopter maneuvering. In
one training scenario, the trainer rotates and translates in the horizontal plane
where the location of the pilot is defined by the relationships
10 2cos 3
rt
and
2
0.1 2tt
, where r,
and t are expressed
in feet, radians, and seconds, respectively. Knowing that the pilot has a mass
of 175 lbs, (a) find the magnitude of the resulting force acting on the pilot at
t= 5 s (b) plot the magnitudes of the radial and transverse components of the
force exerted on the pilot from 0 to 10 seconds.
