A small mass m is tied to a string and swung in a horizontal plane. The string winds around a vertical rod as the mass revolves, like a length of jewelry chain wrapping around an outstretched finger. Given that the initial speed and length are vi and ri, calculate vf when ri/rf = 8.20 and vi = 0.24 m/s.
Ans:
Explanation:
Mass of the object = m
Initial speed of the mass is
Let the final speed is
As the mass revolves in horizontal plane ,
The angular momentum is L = mvr
So, initial angular momentum ( ) =. Final angular momentum ()
Given ,
So,
So final speed
