A stone tied to the end of a string 80 cm long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed . If the stone makes 14 revo-lutions is 25 s, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone ?

Give the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a stone of mass 0.1 kg, (a) just after it is dropped from the window of a stationary train, (b) just after it is dropped from the window of a train running at a constant velocity of 36 km/h, (c ) just after it is dropped from the window of a train accelerating with 1 m s^(-2) , (d) lying on the floor of a train which is accelerating with 1 m s^(-2) , the stone being at rest relative to the train. Neglect air resistance throughout.
