Answer:
I believe the answer is C
Explanation:
Answer:
<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.
<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.
Given that,
Mass of a tribble, m = 2.5 kg
Radius, r = 1.4 m
The force on the tribble from the bucket does not exceed 10 times its weight.
To find,
The maximum tangential speed.
Solution,
The force acting on the tribble is equal to the centripetal force.
F = 10mg
The formula for the centripetal force is given by :

v is maximum tangential speed

So, the maximum tangential speed is 11.7 m/s.
