A mass M of 2.47 kg is attached to the end of a string whose length is 0.410 m. The mass slides without friction on a horizontal surface as indicated in the diagram.
a)If the string can withstand a maximum tension of 113.1 N, what is the maximum tangential speed the ball can have before the cord breaks?
Answ: 4.33 m/s
b)The mass, with a new string, is whirled in a vertical circle of the same radius about a fixed point. Find the magnitude of the tension when the mass is at the top if its speed at the top is 6.69 m/s.
Answ: 2.45×102 N
For part a) i used the formulaa 1) F=ma 2)a=rw^2 3) V=rw to get the right answer but for part b) I used 1)V=rw 2) a=rw^2 3)T=ma but I am not getting the right answer. Am I doing something wrong?
