Four of your PHSE 212 classmates, Henco, Elana, California, and Maloma, were studying for the SU 2 eFundi test when they came across the following question in the Physics textbook, which stated that: Two identical stones attached to cords are being whirled on a tabletop at the same speed as show in the drawing below. The radius of the larger circle is twice that of the smaller circle. How is the tension T; in the longer cord related to the tension T2 in the shorter cord? In response to the question, Henco stated that T = 2T2, Elana stated that T, = ½ T2, California stated that T, = 4T2, and Maloma stated that T1 = T2.

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 387 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 449 N from a point 6.1 m above the ground. Obviously if you hang the bundle on the rope, it will snap. So, you allow the bundle to accelerate downward. (a)What magnitude of the bundle’s acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? (b) At that acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?
