One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.550-kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 1.00 m, as shown in the figure belov When 8 = 23.0°, the speed of the object is 6.50 m/s. (a) At this instant, find the magnitude of the tension in the string. (b) At this instant, find the tangential and radial components of acceleration. a m/s downward tangent to the circle m/s? inward (c) At this instant, find the total acceleration. inward and below the cord at (d) Is your answer changed if the object is swinging down toward its lowest point instead of swinging up? O Yes
Rigid Body
A rigid body is an object which does not change its shape or undergo any significant deformation due to an external force or movement. Mathematically speaking, the distance between any two points inside the body doesn't change in any situation.
Rigid Body Dynamics
Rigid bodies are defined as inelastic shapes with negligible deformation, giving them an unchanging center of mass. It is also generally assumed that the mass of a rigid body is uniformly distributed. This property of rigid bodies comes in handy when we deal with concepts like momentum, angular momentum, force and torque. The study of these properties – viz., force, torque, momentum, and angular momentum – of a rigid body, is collectively known as rigid body dynamics (RBD).
