Superman twirls a 0.1 kg hammer tied to the end of a 0.6 m rope with negligible mass
horizontally about his head. The hammer makes 3 revolutions every second. The
tension (newtons) in the rope is approximately

Respuesta :

Answer:21.3 Newtons

Explanation:

Let [tex]f[/tex] be the time period of hammer.

Let [tex]r[/tex] be the length of the rope.

Let [tex]v[/tex] be the speed of hammer.

Given,

[tex]r=0.6m\\f=3sec^{-1}[/tex]

Since speed of hammer is the ratio of distance travelled in one cycle and frequency,

[tex]v=2\pi rf=2\pi \times0.6\times 3=11.3 ms^{-1}[/tex]

Let [tex]T[/tex] be the tension in rope.

Since the tension in the rope is balancing the centripetal force,

[tex]T=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}=\frac{0.1\times 11.3^{2}}{0.6}=21.3N[/tex]
