Suppose a mass is moving in a circular path on a frictionless table as shown in figure. In the Earth's frame of reference, there is no centrifugal force pulling the mass away from the centre of rotation, yet there is a very real force stretching the string attaching the mass to the nail. Using concepts related to

- Suppose a mass is moving in a circular path on a frictionless table as shown in figure. In the Earth's String frame of reference, there is no centrifugal force pulling the mass away from the center of rotation, yet there is a very real force stretching the string attaching the mass to the nail. Using concepts related to centripetal force and Newton's third law, explain what force stretches the string, identifying its physical origin.arrow_forwardReview Example 5, which deals with the bobsled in Figure 5.5.
