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

Communications satellites are placed in circular orbits where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58脳107m(鈮�22,000miles).

a. What is the period of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

b. Find the value of g at this altitude.

c. What is the weight of a2000kgsatellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

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掳 above the horizontal. It lands 2.9m in front of the launcher. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile?

Tarzan swings through the jungle on a massless vine. At the lowest point of his swing, is the tension in the vine greater than, less than, or equal to the gravitational force on Tarzan? Explain.

You鈥檝e taken your neighbor鈥檚 young child to the carnival to ride the rides. She wants to ride The Rocket. Eight rocket-shaped cars hang by chains from the outside edge of a large steel disk. A vertical axle through the center of the ride turns the disk, causing the cars to revolve in a circle. You鈥檝e just finished taking physics, so you decide to figure out the speed of the cars while you wait. You estimate that the disk is 5m in diameter and the chains are 6m long. The ride takes 10s to reach full speed, then the cars swing out until the chains are 20掳 from vertical. What is the cars鈥� speed?
