What tension must a 50.0 cm length of string support in order to whirl an attached 1,000.0 g stone in a circular path at 5.00 m/s?

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Assuming the circular path is horizontal, the sum of forces in the centripetal direction is:

∑F = ma

T = mv²/r

T = (1.0000 kg) (5.00 m/s)² / (0.500 m)

T = 50.0 N
