A mass, m1 = 16 g, is connected by a massless string through a hole in a frictionless table to a second mass, m2 = 7 g, as shown. The mass m1 rests on the table while m2 is vertically hanging. The mass m1 is now set into circular motion of radius R = 1.5 m, with m2 hanging stationary. Determine the speed of m1 (a) v = 3.86 m/s (b) v = 2.54 m/s (c) v = 0.59 m/s

Mass m1 on the frictionless table of the figure is connected by a string through a hole in the table to a hanging mass m2. (Figure 1) With what speed must m1 rotate in a circle of radius r if m2 is to remain hanging at rest?
Mass m1 undergoes circular motion of radius R on a horizontal frictionless table, connected by a massless string through a hole in the table to a second mass m2. If m2 is stationary, find expressions for: (a) the string tension, (b) the velocity of m1, and (c) the time it takes for m1 to go around once (i.e., the period). Express your answer in terms of the masses, m1 and m2, g, and the radius of the circle, R, and not the velocity, v of m1.
