A 5.11-kg ball hangs from the top of a vertical pole by a 2.33-m-long string. The ball is struck, causing it to revolve around the pole at a speed of 4.47 m/s in a horizontal circle with the string remaining taut. Calculate the angle, between 0° and 90°, that the string makes with the pole. Take g = 9.81 m/s2.

Solutions

Expert Solution

consider the force diagram along the vertical direction, force equation is given as

T Cos = mg                                 eq-1

r = radius of circle = L Sin

consider the force diagram along the horizontal direction, force equation is given as

T Sin = mv2/r                                eq-2

dividing eq-2 by eq-1

tan = v2/(rg)

tan = v2/(L Sin g)

Sin2/Cos = 4.472/(2.33 x 9.8)

(1 - Cos2)/Cos = 0.88

Cos = 0.65

= 49.5

A ball of mass m is tied to a string and is rotating in a vertical plane. The string is elastic (it stretches), which causes the path to be elongated vertically rather than perfectly circular. At the top of the path, the speed has the minimum value that still allows the ball to complete its circular path. Find: the length of the string when it makes an angle θ with respect to the horizontal. The following quantities are known: Mass...
