(a) Where is the stone on its path when the string breaks? (b) What is the speed of the stone as the string breaks?
A string under tension of 50.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.5 m at a speed of 20.4 m/s on a frictionless table. The string passes through a small hole in the table at the center of this circle. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 1.00 m long and the speed is 51.0 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in Newtons, of the string?
A certain string just breaks when it is under 25 N of tension. A boy uses this string to whirl a 2 kg stone in a horizontal circle of radius 3 m. The boy continuously increases the speed of the stone. At approximately what speed will the string break?
