A heavy ball with a weight of 150 N is hung from the ceiling of a lecture hall on a 4.6-m-long rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released to swing as a pendulum, reaching a speed of 5.1 m/s as it passes through the lowest point.What is the tension in the rope at that point?

Respuesta :

Answer:

236.5 N

Explanation:

The tension in the rope will be given by

[tex]T=m(g+\frac {v^{2}}{r})[/tex] where T is the tension on the rope, m is the mass of the ball, v is the speed of the ball of the ball at the lowest point and r is the length of the ball.

Since F=mg then making m the subject, [tex]m=\frac {F}{g}[/tex] where F is the force and g is acceleration due to gravity. Now replacing m with the above in the dirst equation then

[tex]T=\frac {F}{g}\times (g+\frac {v^{2}}{r})[/tex]

Substituting 150 N for F, 9.81 for g, 5.1 m/s for v and 4.6 m for L then

[tex]T=\frac {150}{9.81}\times (9.81+\frac {5.1^{2}}{4.6})=236.45791783006 N\approx 236.5 N[/tex]

The tension in the rope at that point is 236.51 N.

Calculation of the tension in the rope:

Since

The weight of the ball W = 150 N

The length of the rope l=4.6m

And, the velocity of the ball at the lowest point v=5.1m/s

Now the mass of the ball is

= 150 / 9.8

= 15.30 kg

Now the tension should be

= 150 +  (15.30*5.1^2)/ 4.6

= 236.51 N
