Conical pendulum question help!?
By resolving forces horizontally and vertically and using Newtons second law, find an expression for the angle swung out. You must use calculus where needed. Use this analysis to answer questions 1-3
Q1: Will a child swing at a greater angle than a heavy adult?
2: Will people on the inside swing out at the same angle?
3: Will empty chairs be a problem?
The context is of a chair-o-plane ride
I'm very stuck and need some help please!
solution
Honestly I have no clue, I have inklings for each question, like I know there is a formula that would probably give me question one if I assume the weight of the child/adult but I've been looking for two hours and I can't find anything on the internet!
