Answer:
d = 2.45 meters
Explanation:
Mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg
Radius of the circle, r = 0.16 m
The angular speed of the ball around the circle is,
The attached figure shows the whole scenario. Let is the force acting on the ball in tangential direction. The forces will balanced each other at equilibrium.
In horizontal direction,
................(1)
In vertical direction,
...............(2)
From equation (1) and (2) :
Also,
d = 2.45 meters
So, the value of d is 2.45 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
