Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) 2.1 m/s

(b) 0.83 N

(c) 1.9 N

Explanation:

To solve the question, we list out the varibles

Length, l of string = 0.8 m

mass of rock, m = 0.12 kg

Angle with the verrticakl, θ = 45 °

a) To find the speed of the rock  when the string passes through the vertical position we have

From the first law of thermodynamics

Potential energy = kinetic energy

m×g×l×(1-cosθ) = 1/2×m×v²

That is v² = 2×g×l×(1-cosθ)

= 2×9.81×0.8×(1-cos45) = 4.597

or v = √4.597 = 2.1 m/s

(b) The tension in the string when it makes an angle of  45∘ with the vertical is given by

For balance between Tension and mass of rock is gigen by

∑Forces = 0, T - m×g×cosθ = 0

or T =  m×g×cosθ = 0.12×9.81×cos45 = 0.83 N

c) The tension in the string as it passes through the vertical

when passing through the vertical we have T - m×g = (m×v²)/r

or T = m×g + (m×v²)/r = mg(1+2(1-cosθ)) =0.981*0.12 (1+ 2(1-cos45)) =1.867 N

= 1.9 N

(A) the speed of the rock when the string passes the vertical position is 2.1 m/s

(B) the tension in the string when the angle is 45 degrees is 0.83 N

(B) the tension in the string when it passes the vertical position is 1.9 N

Circular motion:

(A)From the law of conservation of energy we can say that the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as shown below:

[tex]mgl(1-cos\theta) = \frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\v^2 = 2gl(1-cos\theta)\\\\v^2 = 2\times9.81\times0.8(1-cos45)\\\\v = 2.1 m/s[/tex]

(B) The tension in the string when it makes an angle of  θ=°45 with the vertical is given by

T - mgcosθ = 0

T =  mgcosθ

T = 0.12×9.81×cos45

T = 0.83 N

(C) The tension in the string as it passes through the vertical is given by:

[tex]T - mg = \frac{mv^2}{l}[/tex]

from (A) we have  [tex]\frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgl(1-cos\theta)[/tex]

[tex]T = mg(1+2(1-cos\theta))\\\\T=0.981\times0.12 (1+ 2(1-cos45))\\\\T=1.9 N[/tex]
