"Centripetal force" is not a separate kind of force. Only the tape tension and gravity act on the cylinder.kjn11994 said:considering centripetal force, gravity and the tension in the piece of tape this is what i have... did i miss anything?
The force of gravity acting on a falling cylinder is known as the weight of the object. It is calculated by multiplying the mass of the cylinder by the acceleration due to gravity, which is typically 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface.
Air resistance, also known as drag, is a force that opposes the motion of the cylinder as it falls through the air. This force increases as the speed of the cylinder increases, eventually balancing out the force of gravity and causing the cylinder to reach a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.
In addition to gravity and air resistance, other forces that may act on a falling cylinder include any external forces such as a push or pull, as well as the force of buoyancy if the cylinder is falling into a fluid.
The shape of the cylinder can greatly impact the forces acting on it as it falls. For example, a streamlined shape will experience less air resistance than a bulky or irregularly shaped cylinder, resulting in a faster fall.
Assuming no external forces are acting on the cylinder, the weight of the object will not change as it falls. However, the apparent weight may change if the cylinder is falling in a fluid or on an inclined surface, as these factors can affect the overall forces acting on the object.
