.You have always been impressed by the speed of the elevators in your apartment building. You wonder about the maximum acceleration for these elevators during normal operation, so you decide to measure it by using your bathroom scale. While the elevator is at rest on the ground floor, you get in, put down your scale, and stand on it. The scale reads 50 kg. You continue standing on the scale when the elevator goes up, carefully watching the reading. During the trip to the 10th floor, the greatest scale reading was

Review multiple-concept example 7 in this chapter as an aid in solving this problem. in a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. in one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.626 m. at one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 66.1 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 12.6 rad/s. (a) find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.
