Member warned that the homework template must be used
I was given a question relating centripetal force to solve
A linear spring of negligible mass requires a force of 18.0 N to cause its length to increase by 1.0 cm.
A sphere of mass 75.0 g is attached to one end of the spring. The distance between the centre of the sphere M and the other end P of the unstretched spring is 25.0 cm
The sphere is rotated at constant speed in a horizontal circle with centre P. The distance PM increases to 26.5 cm.
My main problem is how you find the radius of the sphere, (if you can, can you tell me how in a step by step process if you can ) and also answering the question
Kind Regards
