A small 0.441-kg object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 2.26 m, see image below. The angular speed is 7.09 rad/s. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 1350 N, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle on which the object can move? Answer to 3 significant figure

Answer #1

Since string passes through the centre of circle so torque of Tension force about the centre is zero. Hence about the centre angular momentum remains constant.

Angular momentum is given by ,

= 0.441×2.262× 7.09

= 15.97 kg.m2/s

Tension in the string will provide the required centripetal force , so

Putting maximum value of T will give minimum value of r

r3 = 0.428

r = 0.754 m

A block of mass m is moving in a circular path on a tabletop. The radius of the circle is r and the object's speed is v. What is the initial angular momentum of the system? What is the initial kinetic energy of the system? Suppose the mass was being pulled in circular motion by a string. The string is threaded through a small hole on the top of the table, and a person pulls on the string until it...

A horizontal frictionless table has a small hole in its center. Block A on the table is connected to block B hanging vertically beneath by an unstretching string of negligible mass which passes through the hole. Suppose that the blocks are each subject to linear air resistance. (Large objects moving through air, such as these, are actually in the quadratic regime, but that makes the problem too hard so instead assume that the linear regime applies.) Obtain the differential equations...
