PROBLEM 12.38
Human centrifuges are often used to simulate different acceleration
levels for pilots. When aerospace physiologists say that a pilot is
pulling 9g’s, they mean that the resultant normal force on the pilot from
the bottom of the seat is nine times their weight. Knowing that the
centrifuge starts from rest and has a constant angular acceleration of
1.5 RPM per second until the pilot is pulling 9gs and then continues
with a constant angular velocity, determine (a) how long it will take for
the pilot to reach 9g’s (b) the angle θ of the normal force once the pilot
reaches 9 g’s. Assume that the force parallel to the seat is zero.

PROBLEM 12.39
A single wire ACB passes through a ring at C attached to a sphere which
revolves at a constant speed v in the horizontal circle shown. Knowing that
the tension is the same in both portions of the wire, determine the speed v.

PROBLEM 12.40*
Two wires AC and BC are tied at C to a sphere which revolves at a
constant speed v in the horizontal circle shown. Determine the range of
the allowable values of v if both wires are to remain taut and if the
tension in either of the wires is not to exceed 60 N.
SOLUTION
From the solution of Problem 12.39, we find that both wires remain taut for
3.01 m/s 3.96 m/sv≤≤
To determine the values of v for which the tension in either wire will not exceed 60 N, we recall
Eqs. (1) and (2) from Problem 12.39:
