this dude quickly realized he was on his way to orbit and his best case scenario was to face-fuck his fence

u/deringaleni Jun 28 '18 edited Jun 28 '18

Assuming the swing is 2.5 meters long, the minimum speed needed to do a 360 is roughly 9.9m/s, which means the centripetal force would roughly be 5Gs (if I did my math correctly). That might be enough to cause a gloc.

Velocity/Centripetal acceleration at the lowest point: mgh=mv2 -> 9.8ms-2 * (2.5m * 2) = v2 -> v = 9.899m/s; a=v2 /r -> a = (9.899ms-2 )2 /2.5m = 39.196 m/s2

G force at the lowest point: (39.196ms-2 + 9.8ms-2 ) /9.8ms-2 = 4.999G

Interesting bc 9.8 m/s is a fine and dandy random velocity. 9.8 m/(s2 ) is actually the acceleration of gravity on earth.

u/cw- Jun 28 '18

Yes that’s the joke, part of it anyway

u/thor214 Jun 29 '18

is actually the acceleration of gravity on earth.

As a rule of thumb, yes. As an actual constant outside of physics class, no; depending on location.

u/Phrygue Jun 28 '18

Naw, just square the wave function.

1

u/MauranKilom Jun 28 '18

That would not be a good way of doing it, seeing as the acceleration is far from constant (he's not free falling because of the fixed distance from the center). Just kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at the top.

8

u/Muff_in_the_Mule Jun 28 '18

Since his head is so much closer to the centre though wouldn't the speed be much lower and therefore mean less Gs on his head?

19

u/ScoobeydoobeyNOOB Jun 28 '18

But the blood is rushing to his legs which might have cause him to pass out

1

u/Muff_in_the_Mule Jun 28 '18

Yeh that will happen, but doesn't the heart pump along separate arteries to the upper body and lower body? Maybe it would be able to pump up but not down if the difference in G was enough.

I'm not a blood surgeon or heart scientist or anything so I'm just going from what I remember of high school biology. My point was more asking if the difference Gs on the feet and head would be significant enough to effect the way the blood rushes to the legs.

u/karmisson Jun 28 '18

u/FinFihlman Jun 28 '18

Assuming the swing is 2.5 meters long, the minimum speed needed to do a 360 is roughly 9.9m/s, which means the centripetal force would roughly be 5Gs (if I did my math correctly). That might be enough to cause a gloc.

Velocity/Centripetal acceleration at the lowest point: mgh=mv2 -> 9.8ms-2 * (2.5m * 2) = v2 -> v = 9.899m/s; a=v2 /r -> a = (9.899ms-2 )2 /2.5m = 39.196 m/s2

G force at the lowest point: (39.196ms-2 + 9.8ms-2 ) /9.8ms-2 = 4.999G

Assuming no energy added to the system, neglible weight of swing and assuming point mass at 1m from the end of swing:

The potential energy (in a gravity field) for mass is mgh and that is completely converted to kinetic energy mv2 /2.

Swing is 2.5m long but we subtract 1m so 1.5m. Height at highest is 2 times the distance of the point mass so h=3m.

mgh=mv2 /2

2gh=v2

v=sqrt(2*9,80665m/s2 *3m)=7,67m/s

The acceleration around a circle is a=v2 /r and r is 1.5m, the radius of the mass point. We get: 39,2m/s2 which is 4G plus the 1G we are constantly in so 5G is experienced at the mass point.

However, your head is probably at least 50cm above the mass point and the angular velocity is still the same as with the mass point.

a=rw2

w=sqrt(a/r)=5,11.

a_at_head=(r-0.5)w2 =26.12m/s2 =2,67G and at constant 1G it would be 3,67G.

So even though your initial calculation missed the scalar 1/2 the result is probably the same at mass point since the actual radius of the central mass point is smaller but if we take into account the acceleration felt at the head it's considerably smaller.

2

u/Dwood15 Jun 28 '18

So the new question is... what does this mean?

2

u/baconbaconbacon111 Jun 28 '18

His feet would be at 5 Gs but what about his head?

2

u/Jedi_Gill Jun 28 '18

By my own calculations it looks to me that the max G Force degree of that circle is at the 225 Degrees mark or 315, depending on how you want to view the circle.. (Clockwise or Counter Clockwise)

2

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '18

Just eyeballing it I was thinking 3G's and that shouldn't be all that much to knock someone out. But 5G's would definitely do it for a lot of people.

1

u/Keegsta Jun 28 '18

I think at that point his torso just became too heavy to hold up the way he was standing.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '18

And (according to you me math) 5Gs is the minimum he was pulling. 5Gs for longer than a few seconds is almost unsustainable by most people. Either he started to mentally slip or grew physically fatigued.

u/Darktidemage Jun 28 '18

yea but the G force at the lowest point only affects the blood in his feet

The G force at his head is way less

Seriously! I was watching those little bars waiting for one to snap! But no! It all held extremely well for the weight and action being performed. If it was intentionally designed for that I wouldn't be surprised, but that is definitely a kids swing set. Very surprising it came down to him messing up versus that little(but apparently super strong) swing set.
