Den gyllene tån

Det Gyldne Tårn er en forlystelse i Tivoli i København. Den er 63 meter høj, og dermed én af de højeste forlystelser i Tivoli,^[1] samt blandt de højeste tårne og spir i Danmark. Det er bygget af S&S Worldwide i , der gerne ville have kaldt forlystelsen for "Turbo Drop".^[2] Det er blandt parkens vildeste forlystelser.^[3]

I kravlede en årig man op i tårnet for at begå selvmord, men det blev stoppet.^[4]

I fik en gæst et metalbor i hovedet, som var faldet fra toppen af tårnet, hvor et tekniker var i færd med at rengøre en sensor. Gæsten blev ramt, da området under tårnet ikke var blevet afspærret, og parken fik en bøde på kr., som blev betalt i Grundet ulykken blev en række procedure ændret.^[5][6]

Slowly you move up the tower. The ground is far below, and you still have a long way to go. During seconds, the lift moves with nearly constant velocity to the highest point, about 60 m up. What forces act on you during this part of the ride?

The graph below shows accelerometer and elevation data for the ride.

• At the top, you have about seconds to enjoy the view. The downhill motion starts: You are "shot" down, accelerating nearly twice as fast as during free fall. What are the forces on you during this part of the ride? Use the accelerometer graph to draw an approximate graph over velocity and elevation as a function of time, and mark the different parts of the ride. Do you ever experience weightlessness?
• The fall lands on pressurized air, and a few up- and down bounces. During the first bounce, the accelerometer graph shows that you experience nearly 4g. What are the forces acting on you in that moment? What is your acceleration? Are there moments when the velocity is zero? At what times does the velocity have a maximum? Minimum (i.e. when is it most negative)?
