Concept explainers
A ball is swung in a horizontal circle as shown below. The ball swings from various lengths of rope at the speeds indicated. Rank the tension m the ropes from greatest to least.
The rank of the tension in the ropes from greatest to least.
Answer to Problem 21A
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When a mass
Using above formula, the tension in the string in case A will be,
Similarly, the tension in the string in case B will be,
And, the tension in the string in case C will be,
Conclusion:
Hence, the tension in the string is directly proportional to the square of velocity and inversely proportional to the radius.
