In the hammer throw, an athlete spins a heavy mass in a circle at the end of a cable before releasing it for distance as shown in (Figure 1). For male athletes, the "hammer" is a mass of 7.3 kg at the end of a 1.2 m cable, which is typically a 3.0-mm-diameter steel cable. A world-class thrower can get the hammer up to a speed of 29 m/s. If an athlete swings the mass in a horizontal circle centered on the handle he uses to hold the cable. (a) What is the tension in the cable? Neglect the gravity. (b) How much does the cable stretch? Young modulus for steel is 20×1010N/m220×1010N/m2.

A satellite orbits the earth in a circular orbit with constant speed at a distance, d=2200 km above the surface of the Earth (note, this is the distance above the surface, not from the center). The total mechanical energy of this satellite is E=-3.48*1010J. (Hint: Values for the mass and radius of the Earth are found on the equation sheet.) a) What is the mass of the satellite? b) What is the orbital period of the satellite?
At amusement parks, there is a popular ride where the floor of a rotating cylindrical room falls away, leaving the backs of the riders “plastered” against the wall. Suppose the radius of the room is 8.346 m and the coefficient of friction between the rider and the wall is 0.13, what is the minimum the safe speed of the wall for the rider not to drop when the floor falls away. Use g=9.8 m/s2.
