http://theory.uwinnipeg.ca/physics/circ/node6.html Thats where I got my centripetal force information. And according to what you said, number 4 should be greater than. Thanks a lot Doc Al. I really appreciate it.

Hmm I had to go back to the definition of centripetal acceleration and I found my mistake. I didn't realize it was the rate of change of tangential velocity times radius squared. As for the other 3, I believe is correct because angular acceleration is the same in both (because t is the same and...

Homework Statement Two objects of equal mass are on a turning wheel. Mass 1 is located at the rim of the wheel while mass 2 is located halfway between the rim and the axis of rotation. The wheel is rotating with a non-zero angular acceleration. For each of the following statements select the...
