    This document contains 3 examples of problems involving uniform circular motion. The first example calculates the minimum coefficient of static friction needed to prevent an ambulance rounding a curved highway from sliding. The second example finds the maximum speed a stone can spin in a horizontal circle without breaking the string attaching it. The third example determines the speed of a statue being swung around on a steel cable to a fountain in a park.

    UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

    Tiongco, Luisito C.

    EXAMPLE 1

    A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 220m. An ambulance rounds the curve at a speed of 25.0m/s. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding?

    EXAMPLE 2
    A stone with a mass of 0.80kg is attached to one end of a string 0.90m long. The string will break if its tension exceeds 600N. The stone is whirled in a horizontal circle on a frictionless table top; the other end of the string is kept fixed. Find the maximum speed the stone can attain without breaking the string.

    EXAMPLE 3
    A statue of a cow is being lifted from the back of a truck to be mounted on a fountain in a park. A steel cable, 10m long, has been attached to the statue. In transferring the statue, it is swung around such that the steel cable makes a 10 vertical axis. What is the speed of the statue?
