A lightweight string is wrapped several times around the rim of a small hoop. If the free end of the string is held in place and

the hoop is released from rest, the string unwinds and the hoop descends. How does the tension in the string (T) compare to the weight of the hoop

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension

For linear motion of hoop downwards

mg -T = ma , m is mass of the hoop . a is linear acceleration of CG of hoop .

For rotational motion of hoop

Torque by tension

T x R ,      R is radius of hoop.

Angular acceleration be α,

Linear acceleration a = α R

So TR = I  α

= I  a / R

a = TR² / I

Putting this value in earlier relation

mg -T = m TR² / I

mg = T ( 1 + m R² / I )

T = mg / ( 1 + m R² / I )

mg / ( 1 + R² / k² )

Tension is less than mg or weight because denominator of the expression is more than 1.

A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree
Zielflug [23.3K]

The butterfly takes a vertical perpendicular path equivalent to 9m and travels a horizontal distance of 17m. The net path between the two is equivalent to that of the hypotenuse, so we will apply the Pythagorean theorem.

x=\sqrt{(9)^2+(0.17)^2}

x = 9.0061 \approx 9.0 m

Therefore the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement is 9m
