Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 11P
A lead fishing weight of mass 0.2 kg is tied to a fishing line that is 0.5 m long. The weight is then whirled in a vertical circle. The fishing line will break if its tension exceeds 100 N. (a) If the weight is whirled at higher and higher speeds, at what point in the vertical circle will the string break (top, bottom, or random position)? (b) At what speed will the string break?

A 0.2 Kg block on a 0.50 m long string swings in a circle on a horizontal, frictionless table at 75 revolutions per minute. (a) What is the speed of the block? (b) What is the tension in the string?
A ball of unknown mass m is suspended on
a light string of length L from the ceiling.
This ball is then put into motion so that it
rotates in a horizontal circle with a rotation
rate of w (in rad/s). Notice that the string
makes an angle of 0 with respect to the
vertical during this motion. If the ball
moved at twice its first rotation rate, find
the new angle the string would make with
respect to the vertical.
Suppose you tie a rock to the end of a
1-meter-long string and spin it in a vertical
circle. What is the minimum speed it can
travel and "just" get around the top? (Hint:
The rope will just start to go
"slack" and the
only force acting on the rock, downward,
is gravity.)
