A 2.0 kg mass, attached to a string, is being spun in a vertical circle at a constant speed of 5.0 m/s. The tension in the string when it is at its lowest point in the circle is 52.9 N. What is the length of the string?

Step 1
First, we need to understand that the tension in the string is the sum of the gravitational force and the centripetal force acting on the mass. Show more…

A 0.50 kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle of radius 2.0 m. When the mass is at its lowest point on the circle, the speed of the mass is 12.0 m/s. Find the tension force on the string.

Vertical circular motion... You are rotating an object in a vertical circle using a massless string. The speed of the object is constant. The mass of the object is 2 kilograms. The radius of the circle is 0.5 meters. When the object is at the very top of the circle, the tension in the string is 10 newtons. What is the tension in the string when the object is at its lowest point, i.e. the bottom of the circle?

A 0.137 kg mass on a string is swung in a vertical circle of radius 0.400 m. At the top of the circle, it moves at 2.33 m/s. What is the tension in the string at that point? (Unit = N)
