    What Speed Keeps Theme Park Ride Cars on Track?

    using the speed of 9.904 m/s the Cfc = M w^2 r = 490.44608X10^6 N the maximum reaction given by the track with a speed of 9.904 m/s is 490.4 MN, is that the correct formula to use.

    What Speed Keeps Theme Park Ride Cars on Track?

    the question i was given did not state weather its powered, but i believe its at the minimum to make the loop 9.904m/s. The maximum reaction is at the bottom of the loop because CFf (centrifugal force) and gravity are both acting in the same direction causing the biggest reaction from the track...

    What Speed Keeps Theme Park Ride Cars on Track?

    Fcf = MV(squared) r V= (square root) Fcf x r M Fcf = 500 (mass) x 9.81 (gravity) V= (square root) 4905 x 10 500 = 9.904 m/s to make the loop im not sure how to then work out the maximum reaction of...

    What Speed Keeps Theme Park Ride Cars on Track?

    the cars on a theme park ride each have a mass of 500Kg and travel round a verticle loop of diameter 20m i need to know the minimum speed at which the carts are traveling in order to remain in contact with the loop as they go round. and the maximum reaction of the track

    How Is Strain Calculated in a Composite Concrete and Steel Column Under Load?

    Homework Statement A Concrete column 2M in height 100mm in diameter and containing four steel rods each at 15mm diameter calculate the stress and the amount the column is compressed due to the load of 9Kn. the modulus of elasticity for the concrete (in this case) is 20GPa and for the steel its...
