2.
Figure 2 shows a fairground ride that consists of a chair of mass attached to one end of a rigid arm of length . The other end of the arm is freely hinged to the rim of a thin horizontal circular disc of radius . The disc rotates with constant angular speed about a vertical axis through the centre of the disc. As the ride rotates the arm remains in a vertical plane through the centre of the disc. The arm makes a constant angle with the vertical, where
The chair is modelled as a particle and the arm is modelled as a light rod.
(a) Find the tension in the arm in terms of and
(b) Find in terms of and
题目中文翻译
图 2 所示的游乐设施由一个质量为 的座椅与一根长为 的刚性臂组成,座椅连接于刚性臂的一端。臂的另一端自由铰接于半径为 的水平薄圆盘的边缘。圆盘绕过其圆心的竖直轴以恒定角速度 转动。设施转动时,臂始终位于过圆盘圆心的竖直平面内。臂与竖直方向的夹角恒为 ,其中 。
将座椅视为质点,臂视为轻杆。
(a) 用 和 表示臂中的张力。
(b) 用 和 表示 。
解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
座椅没有竖直加速度。轻杆上的拉力沿杆,因此竖直分量平衡重力。

Since ,
Let the tension in the arm be . Resolving vertically,
Thus
(b)

圆周运动的半径要从旋转轴量到座椅,包括圆盘半径及杆的水平投影。再以张力水平分量提供向心力。

The chair lies outside the rim, so the radius of its horizontal circular path is
Resolving horizontally towards the vertical axis,
Substituting part (a),
Cancelling gives . Therefore
