a) 120 s

b) v = 0.052R [m/s]

Explanation:

a)

The period of a revolution in a simple harmonic motion is the time taken for the object in motion to complete one cycle (in this case, the time taken to complete one revolution).

The graph of the problem is missing, find it in attachment.

To find the period of revolution of the book, we have to find the time between two consecutive points of the graph that have exactly the same shape, which correspond to two points in which the book is located at the same position.

The first point we take is t = 0, when the position of the book is x = 0.

Then, the next point with same shape is at t = 120 s, where the book returns at x = 0 m.

Therefore, the period is

T = 120 s - 0 s = 120 s

b)

The tangential speed of the book is given by the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution, which is the perimeter of the wheel, and the time taken, which is the period.

The perimeter of the wheel is:

L=2\pi R

where R is the radius of the wheel.

The period of revolution is:

T=120 s

Therefore, the tangential speed of the book is:

v=\frac{L}{T}=\frac{2\pi R}{120}=0.052R

vagabundo [1.1K]
It's not so much a "contradiction" as an approximation. Newton's law of gravitation is an inverse square law whose range is large. It keeps people on the ground, and it keeps satellites in orbit and that's some thousands of km. The force on someone on the ground - their weight - is probably a lot larger than the centripetal force keeping a satellite in orbit (though I've not actually done a calculation to totally verify this). The distance a falling body - a coin, say - travels is very small, and over such a small distance gravity is assumed/approximated to be constant.
