As your bus rounds a flat curve at constant speed, a package with mass 0.900 kg , suspended from the luggage compartment of the bus by a string 50.0 cm long, is found to hang at rest relative to the bus, with the string making an angle of 30.0 â with the vertical. In this position, the package is 55.0 m from the center of curvature of the curve.

Required:
a. What is the radial acceleration of the bus?
b. What is the radius of the curve?

Answer:

a.[tex]5.66ms^{-2}[/tex]

b.55 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass ,m=0.9 kg

Length of string,l=50 cm=[tex]\frac{50}{100}=0.50 m[/tex]

1 m=100 cm

[tex]\theta=30^{\circ}[/tex]

R=55 m

a.Centripetal acceleration

[tex]a_c=gtan\theta[/tex]

[tex]a_c=9.8tan30^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]a_c=5.66 m/s^2[/tex]

Hence, the radial acceleration of the bus=[tex]5.66m/s^2[/tex]

b. Radius of curve,R=55 m
