Part A A Ferris wheel has radius 5.0 m and makes one revolution every 8.0 s with uniform rotation. A person who normally weighs 670 N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is the apparent weight (the normal force exerted on her by the bench) of the person as she passes through the highest point of her motion?

A Ferris wheel has radius of 5.0 m and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670 N is sitting on one of the benches attached at the rim of the wheel. What is the apparent weight (that is, the normal force in Newtons exerted on her by the bench) of the person as she passes through the highest point of her motion? (Don't forget about sigfigs) I understand how to calculate the answer but cannot determine the correct number of sig figs for the final answer.
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow the Earth's rotation to once per 28.0 hours by exerting an opposing force at and parallel to the equator. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can only exert a force of 4.00.x 10'N (a little greater than a Saturn V rocket's thrust). How long must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? Assume the Earth is a uniform sphere of radius 6.37 x 10° m and a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg. (Hint: Remember the Earth's current rotation period is 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds. You need to calculate Zorch's torque on the Earth; the Earth's moment of inertia about its rotation axis; the resulting angular acceleration; and then the length of time this acceleration would need to act in order to slow the Earth's angular velocity down by the required amount). 1 586 million years 2 128 billion years 3 140,000 years 4 462 years
Zorch, an archenemy of Superman, decides to slow Earth’s rotation to once per 28.0 h by exerting an opposing force at and parallel to the equator. Superman is not immediately concerned, because he knows Zorch can onlyexert a force of 4.00×107 N (a little greater than a Saturn V rocket’s thrust). How long must Zorch push with this force to accomplish his goal? (This period gives Superman time to devote to other villains.) Explicitly show how you follow the steps found in Problem-Solving Strategy for Rotational Dynamics.

A van with mass m = 1000 kg is driving around a circular curve of radius r = 950 m when it begins to rain. The coefficients of static friction between the track and tires is μd = 0.59 when dry and μw = 0.17 when wet. Write an expression for the maximum magnitude of the force of static friction Ff acting on the van if μs is the coefficient of friction. What is the maximum tangential speed that the van can take the corner at without slipping when dry in m/s? What is the maximum tangential speed when wet in m/s?
