An object of mass m₁ = 4.00 kg is tied to an object of mass m₂ = 2.60 kg with String 1 of length { = 0.500 m. The combination is swung in a vertical circular path on a second string, String 2, of length 0.500 m. During the motion, the two strings are collinear at all times as shown in the figure. At the top of its motion, m2 is traveling at v = 4.90 m/s. String 1 m String 2 (a) What is the tension in String 1 at this instant? 150.4 Does the mass of m2 affect the force needed to make m₁ travel in a circle? N (b) What is the tension in String 2 at this instant? 231.3 X Draw the free-body diagram for m₂. What would the answer be if m₁ were not present? How does m₁ affect the tension in String 2? N (c) Which string will break first if the combination is rotated faster and faster? O string 1 Ostring 2
