Manuel is at a carnival after prom and he decides to ride the carousel. He is still dressed up and is wearing his slippery dress shoes, which have a coefficient of static friction of μ = 0.1 on the carousel deck. He starts near the center of the carousel as it speeds up until it maintains a steady period of T = 9.0s. In this problem we'd like to determine how far from the center he can stand before he begins to slide.

Two small cylindrical plastic containers with flat bottoms are placed on a turntable that has a smooth flat surface. Canister A is empty; canister B is full. Each canister is the same distance r from the center. The coefficient of static friction between the canisters and the turntable is µs. The speed of the turntable is gradually increased. Describe what will happen. Include which container will fall off first or if they will fall off at the same time.
A Wall of Death is a carnival show featuring a motorcyclist rides along the vertical wall of the cylinder and performs various stunts while doing so. Given that the radius of the cylinder is 7 m and the static coefficient of friction is 0.8, what is the minimum speed in m/s2 that the motorcyclist must do to prevent the motorcycle to slip from the wall?
A small box of mass m1is sitting on a board of mass m2 and length L (Figure 1). The board rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the board and the box is μs. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the board and the box is, as usual, less than μs. Throughout the problem, use g for the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration. Find Fmin, the constant force with the least magnitude that must be applied to the board in order to pull the board out from under the the box (which will then fall off of the opposite end of the board)..

Please help with all parts, it is one question. A. Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 50.3 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 4.97 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.200. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide. What is must be the mass of the white block if both blocks are to slide to the RIGHT at a constant velocity? 4.26 kg 6.95 kg 3.55 kg 4.97 kgB.
