In deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a
taut cable. The cable is 1 meter long (from the astronaut's fist to the tool),
and the tool makes a full trip around the circle in half a second as it moves
with constant speed. The mass of the tool is 10 kg. What is the tension in
the cable?
A puck of mass m = 0.085 kg is moving in a circle on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is held in its path by a massless string of length L = 0.44 m. The puck makes one revolution every t = 0.35 s.
a. What is the magnitude of the tension in the string, in newtons, while the puck revolves?
b. The string breaks suddenly. How fast, in meters per second, does the puck move away?
A fairground ride spins its occupants inside a flying saucer-shaped container. If the horizontal circular path the riders follow has a 4.8 m diameter, if the riders is subjected to a centripetal acceleration 1.3 times that due to gravity, what is the spinning speed in unit of revolutions per minute? Use g = 9.8 m/s2.
