A string tied to a rock is being twirled around Fred’s head at 5 cycles/s. If the rock has a mass of 500 g and the string is 50 cm long, what is the tension in the string?
so we know that the mass is 500g now we can put this in a formula of T=mg+ma T is tension m is mass g is gravity N is newton a is acceleration T=(500)(9.8)+(500)(5) T=7400 N Hope this helps
