Chapter 8, Problem 58GP
In the hammer throw, an athlete spins a heavy mass in a circle at the end of a cable before releasing it for distance. For male athletes, the “hammer” is a mass of 7.3 kg at the end of a 1.2 m cable, which is typically a 3.0-mm-diameter steel cable. A world-class thrower can get the hammer up to a speed of 29 m/s. If an athlete swings the mass in a horizontal circle centered on the handle he uses to hold the cable
a. What is the tension in the cable?
b. How much does the cable stretch?

A bucket of mass equals 18.7 kg(mb) is knocked off the side of a wall. The bucket falls 18.6 m to the bottom of the well. Attached to the bucket is a light rope that wraps around a cylinder of radius equals 48.7 cm and mass(mc) equals 3.26 kg. How fast is the bucket falling just before it hits the ground
A string under a tension of 59.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a hortzontal circle of radius 2.45 m at a speed of 20.1 m/s on a frictionless surface as shown in the figure below. As the string is pulled in,
the speed of the rock increases. When the string on the table is 1.00 m long and the speed of the rock is 50.5 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in newtons, of the string?

A 0.5 kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external force of 3.0 N, acting always tangent to the track, causes the object to speed up as it goes around. If it starts from rest, its speed at the end of one revolution is:

The tires were deadlocked and not able to roll. The airplane began to skid once it touched down and left behind a 728 m long skid mark on the runway before it came to a stop. Even though everyone on the airplane was safe, the pilot was accused of failing to land the airplane within the allowable speed limit of 80.0 m/s and his pilot license was suspended. Given that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and runway was 0.496. (i) Determine the work done by friction on the tires.(ii) Use the Work-Energy Theorem to evaluate if the suspension of the pilot’s license should be revoked. #This is an exercise question, please help. Thank You.arrow_forwardA tire is tied to a rope that is tied to the branch of a tree so that the tire swings in a circular trajectory of radius h1 = 15.31 m. A child takes the tire to the top of a platform that is a height h2 = 12.60 m above the ground, sits in the tire, and swings from rest from the platform. The combined mass of the tire and child is 36 kg. The rope is taut when the child leaves the platform and you may neglect the mass of the rope. At the bottom of the circular trajectory, the child and tire are a height h3 = 0.99 m above the ground. include a diagram showing the physical sites (a) Calculate the speed of the child/tire at the bottom of the circular trajectory. m/s (b) Calculate the maximum tension in the rope as the child/tire swing back and forth.
