Answer:
Explanation:
Tension provides centripetal force in the circular motion . In circular motion work done by force = torque x angle
torque is zero as , centripetal force passes through axis of rotation that is center.
So work done by centripetal force = 0
So work done by tension on M = 0
To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

Now solving for x we have,





Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.
Answer:
F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.
