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?
