The figure below shows a sphere of mass 4 kg attached to a horizontal rod by two strings of equal length and negligible mass. The rod is rotating about its axis and causes the 4 – kg mass to rotate in a circle centred on the rod. If the sphere is rotating at a speed of 4 m/s when it is at the lowest point in the circle, the tension in each of the strings is 13 m+ 2 m 2 m 4 kg

A light string can support a stationary hanging load of 23.4 kg before breaking. An object of mass m = 2.77 kg attached to the string rotates on a frictionless, horizontal table in a circle of radius r = 0.817 m, and the other end of the string is held fixed as in the figure below. What range of speeds can the object have before the string breaks? 0≤V≤ m/s m
A child is standing on a merry-go-round (u - 16) with a radius of 2 meters. What is the fastest that can he be spun while only using the friction from his feet to stay on? 157 mis 244 m/s 3.14 m/s 177 ms
A 0.7-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius = 2.3 m). When the mass is at the lowest point on the circle, the speed of the mass is 15 m/s. What is the magnitude of the force of the string in newtons (i.e. tension in the string) on the mass at this position?
I need help with this problem.
Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 6.07 x 10^6 kg and length 613 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 1.79 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center. If the motors are left running for 2 minutes and 39 seconds before shutting off, then how fast will the station be rotating when the engines stop?
Earth is rotating about the Sun in our solar system. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 1.5 × 1011m. Consider the impact of an asteroid of mass 8.9 ×1015 kg and a speed of 90,000km/h with respect to the Earth’s surface. The asteroid strikes the Earth at the equator as shown in Figure. Consider the mass and radius of the Earth are ME = 5.97 × 1024 kg and RE = 6.38×106 m, respectively. Assume that the axial and orbital axis of rotations are parallel to each other. (c) What is the maximum possible change in the length of a day due to the collision?(d) How much energy is needed to stop the Earth’s rotation about its axis after the collision?(e) What would be the moment of inertia of the Earth if the axis of rotation is parallelly shifted so that it touches the equator?
Suppose that humans have created a colony outside of our solar system on a planet called Wfirst21. Wfirst21 has a mass of 1.45×1025 kg and a day that lasts 24.1 h (which defines the rotational period of the planet). The colony is located on the planet's equator. The colonists set up a communications satellite which orbits Wfirst21. The satellite has a circular orbit that keeps it positioned directly above the colony. Calculate the radius ?r of the satellite's orbit in kilometers.
Unlike a roller coaster, the seats in a Ferris wheel swivel so that the rider is always seated upright. An 80-ft-diameter Ferris wheel rotates once every 24 s.

Consider a non-rotating space station in the shape of a long thin uniform rod of mass 7.07 x 10^6 kg and length 526 meters. Rocket motors on both ends of the rod are ignited, applying a constant force of F = 4.14 x 10^5 N to each end of the rod as shown in the diagram, causing the station to rotate about its center.
