Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating dynamic mass and forces for an object in motion, specifically a mass at the end of a string swung along an arc. Participants are exploring the relevant equations and properties needed for this scenario.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss factors such as tangential speed and the angle of the swing. There is a question regarding the definition of dynamic mass and its relevance in this context, with some suggesting the use of Newton's second law (f=ma).

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants providing insights into the factors that may influence the calculations. There is no explicit consensus yet, but guidance on considering tangential speed and angles has been offered.

Contextual Notes

One participant expresses uncertainty about the term "dynamic mass," indicating a potential misunderstanding or differing interpretations of the concept. This may affect the direction of the discussion.

I need to know how to calculate dynamic mass and forces. Example is a mass at the end of a string that is swung along an arc (not perpendicular or parallel to the floor). What equations or properties do I need to calculate dynamic mass and force of the object in motion? Thank you for your help.

Tangential speed. Angle that it is twirled at. From this, I see no reason why you coulde't solve for the rest.

Try f=ma.

I am not sure what you mean by dynamic mass. Mass is mass. Mass is only appreciably affected by its motion if you are talking about speeds close to the speed of light. It doesn't sound like you are.

Thanks Andrew. That's what I was looking for.
