A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal

circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How long does it take for the ball to rotate once around the axis?

Answer:

Time taken, T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

T\ cos\theta-mg=0

T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}

Sum of forces in x direction,

T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}.............(1)

Also, r=l\ sin\theta

Equation (1) becomes :

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}

v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

On solving above equation :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -&gt; steam -&gt; turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c
frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
