A string breaks under a load of 4.8kg A mass of 0.5 kg is attached to one end of a string 2 m long and is rotated in a horizontal circle. Calculate the greatest number of revolutions that the mass can make without breaking the string. |
Answer» Here , ` T = 4.8 kg wt . =4.8 xx 9.8 N ` ` m = 0. 5 , r = 2 m , v = ? ` As `T = m r omega^(2) = m r (2 pi v)^(2)` `= 4 pi^(2) m r v^(2)` `:. v^(2) = (T)/(4 pi^(2) mr )=(4.8 xx 9.8)/(4 xx 9.87 xx 0.5 xx 2)` ` = 1.215 ` `v^(2) = sqrt(1.215)=1.102 "rps"` Greatest number of revolutions that the mass can make per minute `= 1. 102 xx 60 = 66 . 12 "rpm"` . |
