  • Maut ka kuan-Well of Death-is a carnival stunt that involves cars, motorcycles, brave drivers, speed, and precision. Inside a wooden barrel, drivers defy gravity using friction and centrifugal force while the crowd looks on from above. Riding at a 90-degree incline, the men rely on engine power to perform, while the lights and noise complete the experience for the audience. It's not hard to believe that it's a popular attraction. Director Erik Morales of the filmmaking collective Canada traveled to northern India to document the "ordinary guys who risk it all to do extraordinary things."

      I am an Indian and you know what...all these films,documentaries etc always show the cultural , rural , slums of India....Yes the rural areas are obviously much more interesting , but do not think that the entirety of India is like that..The urban India is just like any metropolitan city in the U.S.

      I lived in a city of 2 million people in Gujarat. People just live a life that is hard an that makes India a place that outsiders find intriguing it’s a nice place with a different culture.

    What is the physics behind this? I know it's centrifugal force, but what about gravity, normal force?

    • @whateversuitsyou8840
      @whateversuitsyou8840 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Gravity pulls the car down, while resistance between wheels and wall keep it up. Ladder force is caused by normal force (in this case centrifugal force) and the friction coefficient. Once the speed and therefore the centrifugal force respectively the normal force is big enough to be bigger or equal to the gravitational force, the car stays up
