A ball of mass m = 0.275 kg swings in a vertical circular path on a string L = 0.850 in long as in Figure P6.31. (a) What are the forces acting on the ball at any point on the path? (b) Draw force diagrams for the ball when it is at the bottom of the circle and when it is at the top. (c) If its speed is 5.20 m/s at the top of the circle, what is the tension in the string there? (d) If the string breaks when its tension exceeds 22.5 N, what is the maximum speed the ball can have at the bottom before that happens?

- Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (Fig. P6.68). One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length L = 12.0cm and bob of mass 0.210 kg. The string makes an angle = 7.00 with the vertical, a. What is the radial acceleration of the bob? b. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob?arrow_forwardA student of mass M = 98 kg takes a ride in a frictionless loop-the-loop at an amusement park. The radius of the loop-the-loop is R = 24 m. The normal force by the track on the student at the top of the loop-the-loop is N₁ = 944 N. Find the speed of M at the top of the loop-the-loop. m/s Determine the normal force on M by the track at the bottom of the loop-the-loop, assuming the speed at the bottom is the same as at the top. Narrow_forwardYour cousin Throckmorton skateboards from rest down a curved, frictionless ramp. If we treat Throcky and his skateboard as a particle, he moves through a quarter-circle with radius R = 3.00 m. Throcky and his skateboard have a total mass of 25.0 kg. (a) Find his speed at the bottom of the ramp. (b) Find the normal force that acts on him at the bottom of the curve.arrow_forward
- A 0.5 kg object moves in a horizontal circular track with a radius of 2.5 m. An external force of 3.0 N, acting always tangent to the track, causes the object to speed up as it goes around. If it starts from rest, its speed at the end of one revolution is:arrow_forwardsmall block with mass 0.0500 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius R = 0.800 m on the inside of a circular track. There is no friction between the track and the block. At the bottom of the block’s path, the normal force the track exerts on the block has magnitude 3.40 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the track exerts on the block when it is at the top of its path?arrow_forwardYou tie one end of 0.3-m-long spring to a 0.5 kg mass. Holding the other end of the spring in your hand, you whirl the mass in a vertical circle at a speed of 4 m/s. If the spring elongates 1 cm at the lowest point in the circular motion, what is the spring constant?arrow_forward
- A roller coaster at an amusement park has a dip that bottoms out in a vertical circle of radius r. A passenger feels the seat of the car pushing upward on her with a force equal to twice her weight as she goes through the dip. If r = 20.0 m, how fast is the roller coaster traveling at the bottom of the dip?arrow_forwardA 3.00-kg block is placed at the top of a track consisting of two frictionless quarter circles of radius ?=3.00 m connected by a 5.00-m-long, straight, horizontal surface as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is ?k=0.100. The block is released from rest.

The slide forms the arc of a circle with a radius of 21 m with the ground tangent to the bottom of the slide. Determine the average friction force acting on the child. Hint: Use h = R(1 - cos(θ)) and s = Rθ where θ is in radians and s = arc length.arrow_forwardA roller coaster car passes the top of an 8 m radius vertical loop.
