A stone of mass 800.0 g is fastened to a string of length 75.0 cm which would break when the tension in it exceeds 50.0 N. The stone is whirled in a vertical plane with axis of rotation being 150 cm above the ground. The angular speed is gently increased until the string breaks. At what angular speed will the string break?

A disk 8.00 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1200 rev/min about its central axis. Determine (a) its angular speed in radians per second, (b) the tangential speed at a point 3.00 cm from its center, (c) the radial acceleration of a point on the rim, and (d) the total distance a point on the rim moves in 2.00 s.
In testing an automobile tire for proper alignment, a technicianmarks a spot on the tire 0.200 m from the center. He then mountsthe tire in a vertical plane and notes that the radius vector to thespot is at an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. Starting from rest,the tire is spun rapidly with a constant angular acceleration of 3.00 rad/s2. a. What is the angular speed of the wheel after 4.00 s? b. What is the tangential speed of the spot after 4.00 s? c. What is the magnitude of the total accleration of the spot after 4.00 s?" d. What is the angular position of the spot after 4.00 s?
Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.

A stone of mass 800.0 g is fastened to a string of length 75.0 cm which would break when the tension in it exceeds 50.0 N. The stone is whirled in a vertical plane with axis of rotation being 150 cm above the ground. The angular speed is gently increased until the string breaks. At which point along the circular path is the break likely to occur?
A stone with a mass of 0.5 kg is tied to a string 1.2 m long and is whirled in a vertical circle. If the breaking strength of the string in tension is 20N, what is the angular velocity at which the cord will break?
The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a 1.0-m-diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator’s motor. The elevator is moving upward at a speed of 1.6 m/s. It then slows to a stop as the cylinder makes one complete turn at constant angular acceleration. How long does it take for the elevator to stop?
