PLEASE HELP!!!


If a 40cm rope with a 220g bob can hold a maximum tension of 3N
a) what are the maximum angular velocity and inclination angle it can reach before the rope break?
b) Angle of inclination​

Respuesta :

Answer:

ω = 3.1 rad/s

θ = 36° from vertical

Explanation:

I will ASSUME that the bob and string is acting as a pendulum.

Please understand that the string will break when the bob is at the lowest point of the swing where the vectors of gravity and centripetal acceleration align. It will NOT break at the angle of maximum inclination measured from vertical. This angle is only a component of the maximum potential energy that gets converted to maximum kinetic energy at the lowest point of the swing.

At the bottom of the swing, the string must support the weight of the bob plus supply the required centripetal acceleration.

F = mg + mω²R

F/m = g + ω²R

F/m - g = ω²R

ω = √((F/m - g)/R)

ω = √((3/0.220 - 9.8)/0.40)

ω = 3.09691...

ω = 3.1 rad/s

Potential energy will convert to kinetic energy

       mgh = ½mv²

             h = v²/2g

R - Rcosθ = v²/2g

R(1 - cosθ) = v²/2g

   1 - cosθ = v²/2gR

        cosθ = 1 - v²/2gR

        cosθ = 1 - (Rω)²/2gR

        cosθ = 1 - Rω²/2g

        cosθ = 1 - 0.40(3.1²)/(2(9.8))

        cosθ = 0.804267

              θ = 36.46045...

              θ = 36°
