At amusement parks, there is a popular ride where the floor of a rotating cylindrical room falls away, leaving the backs of the riders "plastered against the wall. Suppose the radius of the room is 3.26 m and the speed of the wall is 10.1 m/s when the floor falls away. The source of the centripetal force on the riders is the normal force provided by the wall. (a) How much centripetal force acts on a 54.1 kg rider? (b) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that must exist between the rider's back and the wall, if the rider is to remain in place when the floor drops away?

An insulated 40 ft^3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°f. a valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. the air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. determine the electrical work done during this process.
