Chapter 8 Problem 88

Question

A small mass m attached to the end of a string revolves in a circle on a frictionless tabletop. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the table (Fig. 8–62). Initially, the mass revolves with a speed \(v_1 = 2.4\ m/s\) in a circle of radius \(r_1 = 0.80\ m\). The string is then pulled slowly through the hole so that the radius is reduced to \(r_2 = 0.48\ m\). What is the speed, \(v_2\), of the mass now?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 8 problem number 88 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A small mass m attached to the end of a string revolves in a circle on a frictionless tabletop. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the table (Fig. 8–62). Initially, the mass revolves with a speed \(v_1 = 2.4\ m/s\) in a circle of radius \(r_1 = 0.80\ m\). The string is then pulled slowly through the hole so that the radius is reduced to \(r_2 = 0.48\ m\). What is the speed, \(v_2\), of the mass now?
From the textbook chapter Rotational Motion you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
