Why it is more difficult to rotate a stone by tieing it to a longer string than shorter string ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why it is more difficult to rotate a stone tied to a longer string compared to a shorter string, we can analyze the relationship between centripetal force, mass, angular velocity, and the radius of the circular motion. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understanding Centripetal Force**: The centripetal force (\(F_c\)) required to keep an object moving in a circular path is given by the formula: \[ F_c = m \omega^2 r ...

    One end of string of length 1.5 m is tied to a stone of mass 0.4 kg and the other end to a small pivot on a smooth vertical board. What is the minimum speed of the stone required at its lowermost.point so that the string does not slack at any point in its motion along the vertical circle ?

    A stone of mass of 1 kg is tied to the end of a string 1 m long. It is whirled in a vertical circle.
