    Circular Motion: Find Tension at Top of 1.11kg Disc

    Homework Statement A 1.11 kg disc is whirled in a vertical circle with radius 0.680m about a fixed point. Find the tension at the top if the speed at the top is 8.76 m/s. Homework Equations F= ma F= m* Acp Acp= m(w^2*r) [b]3. The Attempt at a Solution I figured centripetal...

    True-false questions about frictionaless, masslesss pulleys

    A. The magnitude of the acceleration has to be equal because the tension in the strings of the pulley would have to be equal B.The center of the mass does not accelerate because there is no force acting on it. C.The tension in string 1 is greater than m1g, because it would have to be in...
