Walker, Halliday & Resnick — Force and Motion-I: Problem 22

22 A customer sits in an amusement park ride in which the compartment is to be pulled downward in the negative direction of a y axis with an acceleration magnitude of 1.24g, with g = 9.80 m/s². A 0.567 g coin rests on the customer’s knee. Once the motion begins and in unit-vector notation, what is the coin’s acceleration relative to (a) the ground and (b) the customer? (c) How long does the coin take to reach the compartment ceiling, 2.20 m above the knee? In unit-vector notation, what are (d) the actual force on the coin and (e) the apparent force according to the customer’s measure of the coin’s acceleration?
