91Ó°ÊÓ

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 v.
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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Expression of tension is T=mgL(L2-r2)

b) Expression for ball's angular velocity is Ó¬=g(L2-r2)

c) For the given mass and length of string tension is T=5.001 N and angular velocity is Ó¬=30 rpm

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

Mass = m

Length = L

Radius = r

02

Part(a) Step 2 : Explanation

First draw a free body diagram as below

From the free body diagram given, the net force Fnet on the z-axis is:

Fnet=Tz-mg=0..................(1)

Where:
-Tz is z-component of tension T
- m is mass of the ball
- g acceleration due to gravity
And , Tzcan be expressed as

Tz=Tcos(θ).....................(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get

Tcos(θ)=mg............................(3)

We can find cosθ as below from trigonometric ratio

cos(θ)=(L2-r2).L.......................(4)

Where L= Length of string and r= radius of circle.

Now substitute the given values , we get

T((L2-r2)L)=mg.............................(5)T=mgL(L2-r2).....................................(6)

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

Mass = m

Length = L

Circle of radius = r

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

We know from Newton's second law of motion:

∑Fr=mar.................................(7)

where m is the mass and ar is radial acceleration.

The force in radial direction

∑Fr=Tr=T·sin(θ)..........................(8)

From equation (7) and (8) we get

Tsin(θ)=mar...............................(9)

From trigonometric ratio we can write

sin(θ)=rL................................(10)

From equation (9) and (10) , we get

(T.r)L=mar.........................(11)

We know radial acceleration is given as

ar=Ó¬2r.............................(12)

From equation (12) and (11) we get:

(T.r)L=mÓ¬2............................(13)

Substitute the value of T from equation(6) we get

g(L2-r2)=Ó¬2.............................(14)Ó¬=g(L2-r2)..............................(15)

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

m=500gm =0.5 kg

r= 20 cm=0.2 M

L= 1 M

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

To get Tension, substitute the values given in equation (6) , we get

T=mgL(L2-r2)T=(.5kg)(9.8m/s2)(1m)(1m)2-(0.2m)2)T=5.001N

To find angular speed can be calculated by substituting given values in equation (15), we get

Ó¬=g(L2-r2)Ó¬=9.8m/s2(1m)2-(0.2m)2)=3.16rad/secInRPMÓ¬=(3.16rad/s)(1rev2rad)(60s1min)=30rpm

Space scientists have a large test chamber from which all the air can be evacuated and in which they can create a horizontal uniform electric field. The electric field exerts a constant horizontal force on a charged object. A 15gcharged projectile is launched with a speed of 6.0m/s at an angle35° above the horizontal. It lands 2.9m in front of the launcher. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile?

A 100 g ball on a 60-cm-long string is swung in a vertical circle about a point 200 cm above the floor. The string suddenly breaks when it is parallel to the ground and the ball is moving
upward. The ball reaches a height 600 cm above the floor. What was the tension in the string an instant before it broke?

A golfer starts with the club over her head and swings it to reach maximum speed as it contacts the ball. Halfway through her swing, when the golf club is parallel to the ground, does the acceleration vector of the club head point (a) straight down, (b) parallel to the ground, approximately toward the golfer’s shoulders, (c) approximately toward the golfer’s feet, or (d) toward a point above the golfer’s head? Explain.

If a vertical cylinder of water (or any other liquid) rotates about its axis, as shown in FIGURE CP8.71, the surface forms a smooth curve. Assuming that the water rotates as a unit (i.e., all the water rotates with the same angular velocity), show that the shape of the surface is a parabola described by the equationz=Ó¬22gr2

Hint: Each particle of water on the surface is subject to only two forces: gravity and the normal force due to the water underneath it. The normal force, as always, acts perpendicular to the surface.

The 10 mg bead in FIGURE P8.48 is free to slide on a frictionless wire loop. The loop rotates about a vertical axis with angular velocity Ӭ. If Ӭ is less than some critical value Ӭc the bead sits at the bottom of the spinning loop. When Ӭ > Ӭc the bead moves out to some angle θ

  1. What is Ó¬c in rpm for the loop shown in the figure?
  2. At what value of Ӭc in rpm is θ=30o
