Answer:
Explanation:
radius of circle r = 0.9 m.
(a ) In a motion on circular path , work done is zero because force ( centripetal force ) acts perpendicular to displacement .
( b )
Tension in string T = m ω²r
Putting the values
60 = .072 x ω² x 0.9
ω² = 926
ω = 30.4 rad /s
angle made in 20 revolutions θ = 20 x 2π = 126.6 rad
time taken = θ / ω
= 126.6 / 30.4
= 4.16 s .
The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation,
Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius.
Substituting the known values,
Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
= 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.
