A child attaches a 0.6 kg toy to a 0.9 meter length of string and spins it around in uniform circular motion. Calculate the tension in the string if the period of rotation is 4.1 seconds.

1.26812 N

Explanation:

= Mass of toy =

= Length of string =

= Period of rotation =

Time period is given by

The rotational velocity is 1.3792 m/s

The tension in the rope will be the centripetal force acting on the toy

The tension in the string is 1.26812 N.

1/0.14nm = 10^10/1.4 a lot

more than, less

less than, more
