Chapter 8: Q. 59 (page 202)

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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tension in the string an instant before it broke was 13 N

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Length of string =60 cm =0.6 m
Mass of ball =100 gm = 0.1 kg
Height it reaches above the ground after breaking= 600 cm = 6 m

02

Explanation

First draw the free body diagram as below

The figure shows forces in a circular motion,

Tension =T, centripetal force = mv2/r and gravitational force = mg.

At the Point, ball move upward,

T=mv2r

Now find velocity of the ball at the breaking point.

v2 = u2 +2as

Where v=0, u=v and a=g, and s=600-200=400cm=4 m

On substitution we get

0 =v2 -2 x g x4m

v2 = (8m) g = (8m )x (9.8 m/s2)

Use this and substitute given values to calculate tension

T=mv2r=(0.1kg)(8m脳9.8m/s2)0.6m=13N

Sam (75 kg) takes off up a 50-m-high, 10颅 frictionless slope on his jet-powered skis. The skis have a thrust of 200 N. He keeps his skis tilted at 10颅o after becoming airborne, as shown in FIGURE CP8.66. How far does Sam land from the base of the cliff?

You can swing a ball on a string in a vertical circle if you swing it fast enough. But if you swing too slowly, the string goes slack as the ball nears the top. Explain why there鈥檚 a minimum speed to keep the ball moving in a circle.

A 500 g steel block rotates on a steel table while attached to a 1.2-m-long hollow tube as shown in FIGURE CP8.70. Compressed air fed through the tube and ejected from a nozzle on the back of the block exerts a thrust force of 4.0 N perpendicular to the tube.

The maximum tension the tube can withstand without breaking is 50 N. If the block starts from rest, how many revolutions does it make before the tube breaks?

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鈥檚 shoulders, (c) approximately toward the golfer鈥檚 feet, or (d) toward a point above the golfer鈥檚 head? Explain.
