Tilting trains, such as the American Flyer which will run from Washington to New York and Boston, are designed to travel
safely at high speeds on curved sections of track which were
built for slower, conventional trains. As it enters a curve, each
car is tilted by hydraulic actuators mounted on its trucks. The
tilting feature of the cars also increases passenger comfort by
eliminating or greatly reducing the side force Fs (parallel to the
floor of the car) to which passengers feel subjected. For a train
traveling at 100 mi/h on a curved section of track banked through
an angle u 5 6° and with a rated speed of 60 mi/h, determine
(a) the magnitude of the side force felt by a passenger of weight W
in a standard car with no tilt (f 5 0), (b) the required angle
of tilt f if the passenger is to feel no side force. (See Sample

This problem has been solved! see the answera non-uniform fire escape ladder is 6.0m long whenextended to the icy alley below. it is held at the top by africtionless pivot, and there is neglibible frictional force fromthe icy surface at the bottom. the ladder weighs 250n, and it'scenter of gravity is 2.0m along the ladder from the bottom. amother and child of total weight 750n are on the ladder 1.5m fromthe pivot. the ladder makes an angle θ with the horizontal. find the magnitude and direction ofa) the force exerted by the icy alley on the ladderb) the force exerted by the ladder on the pivotc) do your answers in part a and b depend on the angle?
