Homework Statement
A small block with mass m rests on a frictionless horizontal tabletop a distance r from a hole in the center of the table. A string tied to the small block passes down through the hole, and a larger block with mass M is suspended from the free end of the string. The small block is set into uniform circular motion with radius r and speed v.
Homework Equations
a=v2/R
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I really have know idea...but here goes nothing
Mg=Ma
Mg=Mv2/r
g=v2/r
v=sqrt(g/r)
