Consider two masses (of mass m, and m2) attached to a spring (of unstretched length / and spring constant k) in a manner similar to that discussed in this section. however, suppose the system is aligned vertically (rather than hori- zontally) and that consequently a constant gravitational force is present. analyze this system and compare the results to those of this section.

its c its is a mixture of gases

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
