Chapter 8, Problem 26EAP
A heavy ball with a weight of 100 N (m = 10.2 kg) is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.5-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.5 m/s as it passes through the lowest point. What is the tension in the rope at that point?

A Stone Age hunter stands on a cliff overlooking a flat plain. He places a 1.0 kg rock in a sling, ties the sling to a 1.0-m-long vine, then swings the rock in a horizontal circle around his head. The plane of the motion is 25 m above the plain below. The tension in the vine increases as the rock goes faster and faster. Suddenly, just as the tension reaches 200 N, the vine snaps. If the rock is moving toward the cliff at this instant, how far out on the plain (from the base of the cliff) will it land?

6. A pendulum that consists of a ball (m = 1.50 kg) attached to a light cord rotates in a circular path of
radius r = 0.800 m at constant speed v, as shown in Figure. Here the angle 0 = 65°, and we ignore air
friction and assume the mass of the light cord is negligible.
(a) Calculate the tension T in the cord.
= L.
(b) Calculate the centripetal force acting on the ball.
= 'd
(c) Calculate the velocity v of this uniform circular motion.
Answers:
A conical pendulum has length l and the angle made by the string with vertical is e = 35° . The mass of the object is m=124 g. If the speed of the object is
v=3.9m/s find the length of the string. Take g=10Om/s2. Round your answer to one decimal place.
