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.

Explain how grality and electric charge are different
stich3 [128]
A difference between the two forces is the fact that gravitation only attracts, while electrical forces attract when the electrical charges are opposite and repel if the charges are similar. Thus, gravitation is considered a monopole force, while electrostatics is a dipole force. Please mark me as a brainiest!!!

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Normal force = m g cos 53 = 8 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 53 = 47.1823 N

  no work is done by this force

Force friction = coeff friction * force normal = .4 * 47.1823 = 7.55 N

   work of friction = 7.55 * 2 m = 15.1 j

Force Downplane = mg sin 53 = 62.61  N

    work = 62.61 * 2 = 125.22 j

Net Force downplane =   force downplane - force friction = 55.06 N

net Work = force * distance = 55.06 N * 2 M = 110.12 j

A person standing on the surface of the earth has a weight of 650 N. What is its weight at a distance of two earth radii from th
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

72.22 N

Explanation:

F = weight

m = mass of body

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

G = universal constant of gravitation

F_1= 650 N

F_1 = GMm/R^2

two earth radius above the surface of the earth:

F_2=  GMm/(3R)^2=  GMm/9R^2= F_1/9= 650/9

=72.22 N
