To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of Forces, the centripetal Force and Newton's second law.

I will also attach a free body diagram that allows a better understanding of the problem.

For there to be a balance between weight and normal strength, these two must be equivalent to the centripetal Force, therefore

F_c = W-N

m\omega^2r = W-N

Here,

m = Net mass

\omega= Angular velocity

r = Radius

W = Weight

N = Normal Force

m\omega^2r = 174-146

The net mass is equivalent to

F = mg \rightarrow m = \frac{F}{g}

Then,

m = \frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2}

Replacing we have then,

(\frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2})\omega^2 (54ft) =174lb-146lb

Solving to find the angular velocity we have,

\omega = 0.309rad/s

Therefore the angular velocity is 0.309rad/s

What is the difference between a theory and a law?
algol [13]

A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.

A wire carrying a current of 26.9 A is bent into a circular arc with a radius of 0.6 cm that sweeps out 0.900 radians. What is t
melomori [17]

The magnetic field at the center of the arc is 4 × 10^(-4) T.

To find the answer, we need to know about the magnetic field due to a circular arc.

<h3>What's the mathematical expression of magnetic field at the center of a circular arc?</h3>
  • According to Biot savert's law, magnetic field at the center of a circular arc is
  • B=(μ₀ I/4π)× (arc/radius²)
  • As arc is given as angle × radius, so

        B=( μ₀I/4π)×(angle/radius)

<h3>What will be the magnetic field at the center of a circular arc, if the arc has current 26.9 A, radius 0.6 cm and angle 0.9 radian?</h3>

B=(μ₀ I/4π)× (0.9/0.006)

  = (10^(-7)× 26.9)× (0.9/0.006)

  = 4 × 10^(-4) T

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of magnetic field at the center of the circular arc is 4 × 10^(-4) T.

What are 3 different forces that act on objects on the earth ΩvΩ
Stolb23 [73]
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.

Contact Forces

Action-at-a-Distance Forces

Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force


These are types of individual forces



Applied Force
Gravitational Force
Normal Force
Frictional Force
Air Resistance Force
Tensional Force
