Question

A certain string breaks when it is under 25 N of tension. A boy uses this string to whirl a 1.5-kg stone in a horizontal circle. The boy continuously increases the speed of the stone until the string breaks. If the radius of the circular motion at the breaking point is 2.0 m, what is the speed of the stone? 6.1 m/s 5.2 m/s 13 m/s 8.0 m/s 18 m/s
