Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To determine and explain: which is conservative and non-conservative forces with given figures.
Answer to Problem 1FTD
Figure (a) follows the conservative force system.
Figure (b) follows the non-conservative force system.
Explanation of Solution
Refer to the Figure 7.14 (a) in the question.
The magnitude of force in the force vectors at different points in space is equal. This statement gives information that it’s present in closed path.
Therefore, the given force of vectors follows the conservative force system.
Refer to the Figure 7.14 (b) in the question.
The magnitude of force vectors at different points in space is unequal and the magnitude of magnitude of force varying from place to place and point to point. Due to some external force these changes may occur. The non-conservative force definition states that due to some frictional force the force will act opposite to the motion.
Therefore, the given force of vectors follows the non-conservative force system.

Some 1800 years ago Roman soldiers effectively used slings as deadly weapons. The length of these slings averaged about 81 cm and the lead shot that they used weighed about 30 grams. If in the wind up to a release, the shot rotated around the Roman slinger with a period of .15 seconds.
Find the maximum acceleration of the shot before being released in m/s^2 and report it to two significant figures.
