A string under a tension of 50.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.50 m at a speed of 20.4 m/s on a fricitonless surface as shown in Figure P6.25. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string on the table is 1.00 m long and the speed of the rock is 51.0 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in newtons, of the string? Figure P6.25
As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.

A small ball is attached to the lower end of a 0.800-m-long string, and the other end of the string is tied to a horizontal rod. The string makes a constant angle of 52.5 degrees with the vertical as the ball moves at a constant speed in a horizontal circle. If it takes the ball 1.40 s to complete one revolution, what is the magnitude of the radial acceleration of the ball?
A ball whirls around on the end of a string, moving in a circle at a constant speed of 3.0 m/s. If it experiences an acceleration of 3 m/s2, how long (in m) is the string?
