An object of mass m1= 4.00kg is tied to an object of mass m2= 3.00kg with string-1 of length l=0.500m. The combination is swung in a vertical circular path to a second string, string-2, of length l = 0.500m. During the motion, the two strings are collinear at all times as shown in the figure above. At the top of the motion, m2 has a speed v = 4.00ms-1. Which string breaks first as the system is rotated faster and faster?
A 30.0 cm long pendulum of mass m = 0.030 kg moves past the bottom of its swing with a speed v = 1.10 m/s. What is the tension T in the string? 0.121 N 0.173 N 0.294 N 0.415 N
The figure shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at constant speed. (The cord sweeps out a cone as the bob rotates.) The bob has a mass of 0.040 kg, the string has length L = 1.1 m and negligible mass, and the bob follows a circular path of circumference 1.0 m. What are (a) the tension in the string and (b) the period of the motion?

Christina the maid is standing on the Vanderbilt’s dining room table dusting the chandelier. While Christina is reaching up, she slips and grabs hold of the chandelier to catch her balance. When she lets go, the chandelier begins to swing with a period of 1.6s. How long is the cable connecting the chandelier to the ceiling? (0.65m)
Two masses m1=5.9kg and m2=4.7kg are attached to each other as shown in the figure below. The combination is moving on horizontal circular paths (without friction) as shown since they are also tied to a pole. The strings connecting m1 to m2, and m2 to the pole both have the same length l=2.9m. During the motion, two strings are always collinear (on the same line) as shown. If m2 is moving with a speed of v=3.8m/s, determine the tension on the string 2. Use SI units and express your answer with zero decimal places. (Hint: Both masses should have the same period.)
4) This time the pendulum is 1.64 m long. Suppose you start with the pendulum hanging vertically, at rest. You then give it a push so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.96 m/s. What maximum angle (in degrees) will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? Question 4 options: 28.3 degrees 14.2 degrees 50.9 degrees 39.6 degrees 5) This time, the pendulum is 1.19 m long and has a mass of 4.69 kg. You give it a push away from vertical so that it starts swinging with a speed of 1.68 m/s. Due to friction at the pivot point, 1.00 Joule of the pendulum s initial kinetic energy is lost as heat during the upward swing. What maximum angle will it reach, with respect to the vertical, before falling back down? Question 5 options: 33.9 degrees 26.2 degrees 28.5 degrees 39.3 degrees
