Use Newton's second law:

One circle is equal to , thus the linear velocity is:

The definition of angular momentum:

Plugging in values:

The equation for centripetal acceleration is:

Where  is the centripetal acceleration on an object,  is the velocity of an object, and  is the radius in which the object moves in a circle.

We can see that mass does not play a role in the centripetal acceleration of an object, so no matter what happens to the mass, the centripetal acceleration remains the same.

The equation for centripetal acceleration is:

Where  is the centripetal acceleration on an object,  is the velocity of an object, and  is the radius in which the object moves in a circle.

The radius has an inverse relationship with centripetal acceleration, so when the radius is halved, the centripetal acceleration is doubled.

Similar to linear acceleration, angular acceleration is related to the angular velocity by the following

from here we simply plug in our values of  and  to get . Next to convert to radians we take the relations that pi is equal to  rotation and multiply our  by  to arrive at our final answer of 

Most of the success for this ride experience can be credited to Newton's Third Law. It states that if object 1 exerts  onto object 2, then object 2 must be exerting a force . They are equal and opposite forces, called an action reaction pair. This concept applies when you're typing on your cell phone. when you touch down on your screen or button, your finger doesn't go through the phone, right? The phone is sending back an equal force to you which prevents your finger from going through the screen.

The same thing applies on the attraction. Your body is pushing outward on the walls of the ride. If no centripetal force was present, your body would project on a tangent as depicted in the diagram below. However, centripetal force is present. This is the force that is countering your body; it is pushing you towards the center. Now as we know, centripetal force isn't ever drawn on a diagram because it is a "net" force, or a collection of forces. But what we do know is that during circular motion, centripetal force (and acceleration) point towards the center.

During the ride, your body is trying to follow the tangental paths shown, but the reciprocal force, , is keeping your body stationary on the wall. The wall is following a circular path, which makes you follow the circular path. This action reaction pair is what allows the attraction to work. Centripetal force points inwards.

The minimum length of the wrench will assume that the maximum force is applied at an angle of . Therefore, we can use the simplified expression for torque:

Here,  is the length of the wrench.

Rearranging for length and plugging in our values, we get:

The counterclockwise and clockwise torques about the pivot point must be equal for the rod to balance. Taking the fulcrum as the pivot point, the counterclockwise torque is due to the rod’s weight, gravitational force acting downwards at the center of the rod. If we use the pivot as our reference, then the center of the rod is 15cm from the reference.

Set this equal to the clockwise torque due to the additional mass, a distance r to the right of the pivot.

.

Solving for r gives r = 0.05m to the right of the pivot, so 40 + 5 cm from the left end of the rod.
