Hello. Sorry for not replying, but now I have a theoretical relationship between the variables involved. When I solve this equation mass is eliminated, but I know that increasing the mass will lead to a lower velocity and it must be included in the equation. I don't understand where I went wrong...

Sorry I'm a little confused on using this website. I reposted using the right format on a new thread. I apologize for bumping! I didn't understand what that meant.

Homework Statement If an object is hanging by a thread, how fast must it be twirled around in order to break the thread? (must also provide explanation of why this is the velocity). As a part of a lab, pick a certain mass. Attach to light string (easily breaks) and pull the string through a...

Sorry I meant the string will be pulled through the tube that is being used to spin the mass.

This is a question for the setup of a lab. I understand that the string must be tied to the mass and then spun in an overhead circle. A cylindrical tube with non-sharp edges will be used to spin the mass. Then, the string will be pulled through the mass, which would reduce the radius and...
