A light string can support a stationary hanging load of 25.0 kg before breaking. An object of mass m = 3.00 kg attached to the string rotates on a frictionless, horizontal table in a circle of radius r = 0.800 m, and the other end of the string is held fixed as in Figure P5.17. What range of speeds can the object have before the string breaks? Figure P5.17
A bicycle is turned upside down while its owner repairs a flat tire. A friend spins the other wheel and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially. She measures the heights reached by drops moving vertically (Fig. P7.8). A drop that breaks loose from the tire on one turn rises vertically 54.0 cm above the tangent point. A drop that breaks loose on the next turn rises 51.0 cm above the tangent point. The radius of the wheel is 0.381 m. (a) Why does the first drop rise higher than the second drop? (b) Neglecting air friction and using only the observed heights and the radius of the wheel, find the wheels angular acceleration (assuming it to be constant). Figure P7.8 Problems 8 and 69.
A single bead can slide with negligible friction on a stiff wire that has been bent into a circular loop of radius 15.0 cm as shown in Figure P6.48. The circle is always in a vertical plane and rotates steadily about its vertical diameter with a period of 0.450 s. The position of the bead is described by the angle that the radial line, from the center of the loop to the bead, makes with the vertical. (a) At what angle up from the bottom of the circle can the bead slay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circles rotation as 0.850 s. (c) Describe how the solution to part (b) is different from the solution to part (a). (d) For any period or loop size, is there always an angle at which the bead can stand still relative to the loop? (e) Are there ever more than two angles? Arnold Arons suggested the idea for this problem. Figure P6.48

A plane with a wingspan of d = 16 m loses control in flight and begins to spiral in a circle around the cockpit while in a vertical dive. It completes one rotation every t = 3.1 s.
A small object of mass 0.20 kg is whirled in a horizontal circle at the end of the 1 m long cord. What is the highest speed that the object can have if the cord can sustain a maximum force of 4 newtons without breaking?
A small block with mass 0.0450kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600m on the inside of a circular track. During one of the revolutions of the block, when the block is at the bottom of its path, point A, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block by the track has magnitude 3.85N. In this same revolution, when the block reaches the top of its path, point B, the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the block has magnitude 0.660N. How much work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B?
One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.550-kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 1.50 m, as shown in the figure below. When ? = 17.0°, the speed of the object is 6.00 m/s. At this instant, find the magnitude of the tension in the string.

A stone of mass 800.0 g is fastened to a string of length 75.0 cm which would break when the tension in it exceeds 50.0 N. The stone is whirled in a vertical plane with axis of rotation being 150 cm above the ground. The angular speed is gently increased until the string breaks. At what angular speed will the string break?
