A boy whirls a stone of small mass in a horizontal circle of radius 1.5m and at height 2.9m above level ground. The string breacks and the stone flies off horizontally and strikes the ground after travelling a horizontal distance of 10m . What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the stone while in circular motion ?

A stone of mass m tied to the end of a string, is whirled around in a horizontal circle. (Neglect the force due to gravity). The length of the string is reduced gradually keeping the angular momentum of the stone about the centre of the circle constant. Then, the tension in the string is given by T = Ar^n where A is a constant, r is the instantaneous radius of the circle and n=....
