4. A 3-kg ball is attached to a rope connected to the center of a table and initially travelling in a circle of constant radius 4 m with a speed of 3 m/s. The rope is then pulled inward through a hole in the center of the table with a constant speed of 1 m/s. Determine the ball's velocity and speed at the instant that its distance from the center of the table is 2 m. Also calculate the amount of work done by the rope. Neglect friction.

Question
**Problem 4:**

A 3-kg ball is attached to a rope connected to the center of a table and initially traveling in a circle of constant radius 4 m with a speed of 3 m/s. The rope is then pulled inward through a hole in the center of the table with a constant speed of 1 m/s. Determine the ball's velocity and speed at the instant that its distance from the center of the table is 2 m. Also calculate the amount of work done by the rope. Neglect friction.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a top view of a table with a ball attached to a rope. The ball is moving in a circular path around the center of the table. The rope is shown passing through a hole in the center of the table as it is being pulled inward, reducing the radius of the circle.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The mass of the ball:

m=3 Kg

Initial radiusR1=4 m

final radiusR2=2 m

Initial speedV1=3m/s

Rope velocityVR=1 m/s

Because rope velocity is constant so the tension in the rope will be constant and hence the centrifugal force acting on the ball will be constant.
