Chapter 8: Q. 43 (page 200)

A 4.4-cm-diameter, 24 g plastic ball is attached to a 1.2-m-long string and swung in a vertical circle. The ball’s speed is 6.1 m/s at the point where it is moving straight up. What is the magnitude of the net force on the ball? Air resistance is not negligible.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Net force on the ball is = 0.7308 N

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

Ball diameter = 4.4-cm-diameter,

mass =24 g

String length = 1.2-m

v= 6.1 m/s

02

Explanation

First draw a diagram as below

From the figure find the T as below

T=mv2rT=(0.024kg)×(6.1m/s)21.222mT=0.7308N

So the radius will be = 1.2m+2.2 cm = 1.222m

Centripetal force is given by F=mv2r

This force is equal to tension on the string

So the force is 0.7308 N

A concrete highway curve of radius 70mis banked at a 15°angle. What is the maximum speed with which a 1500kg rubber tired car can take this curve without sliding?

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. Because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. Any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. Suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. If the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples?
