A string can support a stationary hanging load of mass
25 kg before breaking. a) Calculate the maximum tension
that the string can support. b) Suppose one end of the
string is attached to an object of mass m = 3 kg, while the
other end is fixed to the center of a frictionless table as
shown in the figure. When given an initial speed, the object
moves along a horizontal circle of radius R = 0.8 m.
Calculate the maximum speed the object can have before
the string breaks.

Using a lat machine (Fig. P5.48), you notice that the wire connected to the bar is run around three different pulleys and is connected to a vertical stack of weights on the other end. The weights move up and down as you pull down on the bar. Suppose you set the machine so that the weight to be lifted is 120.0 lb.
