Question

A small object with a mass of m = 841 g is whirled at the end of a rope in a vertical circle with a radius of r = 139 cm. When it is at the location shown, (mid-height), its speed is v = 4.77 m/s. Determine the tension in the rope. Calculate the magnitude of the total force acting on the mass at that location.

Step 1

The gravitational force can be calculated using the formula: F_gravity = m * g where m = mass of the object (841 g = 0.841 kg) and g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2). F_gravity = 0.841 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 F_gravity = 8.26 N Show more…
