Do you think the rider in the above figure is really in danger? What If people below were removed?

Respuesta :

The rider will be in danger when the people below  are removed, because they initially helped to maintain equilibrium.

A system subjected to different forces is said to be in equilibrium when all the forces applied to the system are equal.

For a system subject to two opposite forces, the following exists;

  • If the upward force and the downward forces are equal, the system will remain in equilibrium position
  • If the upward or downward force is greater than the other, the system will move in the direction of the greater force.

Thus, we can conclude that the rider will be in danger when the people below  are removed, because they initially helped to maintain equilibrium. Once these people are removed, the rider tends to move at a greater speed and possibly fall from the initial position.
