A train traveling at a constant speed rounds a curve of radius 215 m. A lamp suspended from the ceiling swings out to an angle of 18.5° throughout the curve. What is the speed of the train? [Hint: See Example 4–15.]

Identify the forces acting on the lamp. The lamp is subject to two forces: the tension in the string (T) and the gravitational force (mg). The tension can be broken into two components: a vertical component (Tcosθ) that balances the gravitational force and a horizontal component (Tsinθ) that provides the centripetal force.
Write the equations for the forces. Vertically, the forces are balanced: Tcosθ = mg. Horizontally, the centripetal force is provided by the horizontal component of tension: Tsinθ = m(v²/r), where v is the speed of the train and r is the radius of the curve.
Eliminate T from the equations. Divide the horizontal force equation by the vertical force equation to eliminate T: (Tsinθ) / (Tcosθ) = (m(v²/r)) / (mg). This simplifies to tanθ = v² / (rg).
Solve for the speed of the train (v). Rearrange the equation tanθ = v² / (rg) to isolate v: v = √(rg * tanθ).
Substitute the known values into the equation. Use r = 215 m, g = 9.8 m/s², and θ = 18.5° (convert to radians if necessary). This will allow you to calculate the speed of the train.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Centripetal Force

Centripetal force is the net force acting on an object moving in a circular path, directed towards the center of the circle. It is essential for maintaining circular motion and is calculated using the formula F_c = m*v^2/r, where m is mass, v is velocity, and r is the radius of the circle. In this scenario, the train's speed can be determined by analyzing the forces acting on the lamp as it swings outward.

Angle of Deviation

The angle of deviation refers to the angle at which an object, such as the lamp, swings away from its vertical position due to the forces acting on it. In this case, the lamp swings out to an angle of 18.5° as the train rounds the curve, indicating a balance between gravitational force and the horizontal component of the tension in the lamp's support. This angle is crucial for calculating the effective forces and ultimately the speed of the train.

Trigonometric Relationships

Trigonometric relationships, particularly involving sine and cosine, are used to resolve forces acting at angles. In this problem, the angle of 18.5° can be used to relate the vertical and horizontal components of the forces acting on the lamp. By applying these relationships, one can derive the speed of the train from the geometry of the situation and the forces involved.
