Chapter 8, Problem 47EAP

A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a ball of mass m to a string of length L, then allowing the ball to move in a horizontal circle of radius r. FIGURE P8.47 shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.

a. Find an expression for the tension T in the string.

b. Find an expression for the ball’s angular speed ?. c. What are the tension and angular speed (in rpm) for a 500 g ball swinging in a 20-cm-radius circle at the end of a 1.0-m-long string?

Mary and her younger brother Alex decide to ride the 32-foot-diameter carousel at the State Fair. Mary sits on one of the horses in the outer section at a distance of 13 feet from the center. Alex decides to play it safe and chooses to sit in the inner section at a distance of 7 feet from the center. (a) What is Mary's angular speed ?M compared to that of Alex's angular speed ?A? Give your answer as a multiple of ?A.?M = ?A(b) What is Mary's tangential speed vM compared to that of Alex's tangential speed vA? Give your answer as a multiple of vA.vM = vA
