A puck of mass m = 49.0 g is attached to a taut cord passing through a small hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (see figure below). The puck is initially orbiting with speed v, = 1.30 m/s in a circle of radius r, = 0.320 m. The cord is then slowly pulled from below, decreasing the radius of the circle to r = 0.130 m. (a) What is the puck's speed at the smaller radius? m/s (b) Find the tension in the cord at the smaller radius. (c) How much work is done by the hand in pulling the cord so that the radius of the puck's motion changes from 0.320 m to 0.130 m?

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 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 P5.59. 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 θ 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 stay motionless relative to the turning circle? (b) What If ? Repeat the problem, this time taking the period of the circle’s 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 P5.59
