Conical Pendulum Problem: Mass, Length, and Revolutions Per Minute

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a conical pendulum problem involving a 6 kg mass attached to a 10m string, with one end fixed and the other hanging 8m below. Key calculations include determining the radius of the circular motion, the angle the string makes with the vertical, the angular velocity in radians per second, and the tensions in both segments of the string. Participants emphasize the importance of showing work and identifying specific difficulties in the problem-solving process. The thread highlights the need for clarity in presenting physics problems to facilitate effective assistance. Engaging with the community by sharing attempts is crucial for receiving help.

Homework Statement


A particle of mass 6 kg is attached to the centre B of a light inextensible string
of length 10m. One end of the string is attached to a point A and the other
end to a point C which is distance 8m directly below A. The particle is moving
in a horizontal circle, with both parts of the string taut, at 25 revolutions per
minute.
(i) Find the radius of the circle and the angle  that the string makes with
the vertical.
(ii) Find the angular velocity ! in radians/sec.
(iii) Find the tension T1 in AB and the tension T2 in BC.

Hi mohamed1993,

Since you are new to Physics Forum I must tell you that posting a question is not enough. you must also show some of your work on the question and show where exactly you are having a problem.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
