suppose the ball has the smallest possible frequency that allows it to go all the way around the circle. what tension in the str
ing when the ball is at the highest point
1 answer:
The complete question is missing, so i have attached the complete question.
Answer:
A) FBD is attached.
B) The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)
C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).
Explanation:
A) I've attached the image of the free body diagram.
B) The formula for the net force is given as;
F_net = mv²/r
We know that angular velocity;ω = v/r
Thus;
F_net = mω²r
Now, the minimum downward force is the weight and so;
mg = m(ω_min)²r
m will cancel out to give;
g = (ω_min)²r
(ω_min)² = g/r
ω_min = √(g/r)
The condition that must be satisfied is for ω_min = √(g/r)
C) The tension in the string would be zero. This is because at the smallest frequency, the only radially inward force at that point is the weight(force of gravity).

Explanation:
Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves. These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave. Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd. You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.
Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave. In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium. Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.
