Consider the forces acting on the plane and apply F=ma.Originally posted by tandoorichicken
How? and what do I do then?
The forces on the plane are gravity and the tension in the chain. The plane is centripetally accelerated. Apply F=ma to the vertical and horizontal components of the forces.Originally posted by tandoorichicken
So there is gravity, and there is also centripetal force right?
I'm not sure I understand your reasoning with the triangles, but [itex] \omega = \sqrt{\frac{g\tan 56}{r}} [/itex] is correct. The problem asks for speed, which I presume means linear speed not angular; but [itex]v=r\omega[/itex].Originally posted by tandoorichicken
Okay, I think I got it all figured out, and I managed to completely bypass figuring the tension in the chain. Can someone please check my work?
The "Six Flags rotation problem" refers to a mathematical puzzle in which six flags must be arranged on a flagpole in a specific order, while following a set of rules, in order to spell out a specific word or phrase.
The rules of the "Six Flags rotation problem" are as follows: 1) Each flag must be rotated to a specific angle before being placed on the flagpole, starting from the bottom and moving up. 2) Flags cannot be placed upside down. 3) The order of the flags on the flagpole must spell out a specific word or phrase. 4) Each flag must touch the one above and below it.
There are typically multiple solutions to the "Six Flags rotation problem", depending on the specific word or phrase being spelled out. Some solutions may be more efficient or creative than others.
The "Six Flags rotation problem" is related to concepts such as combinatorics, permutations, and geometric rotations. It also involves critical thinking, problem-solving, and spatial reasoning skills.
Yes, the "Six Flags rotation problem" can be solved using a computer program. However, due to the various solutions and the potential for human error, it may be more efficient and accurate for a person to solve the puzzle manually.
