Answer: a) The acceletarion is directed to the center on the turntable. b) 5 cm; ac= 0.59 m/s^2; 10 cm, ac=1.20 m/s^2; 14 cm, ac=1.66 m/s^2
Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider teh expression of the centripetal accelartion for a circular movement, which is given by:
ac=ω^2*r where ω and r are the angular speed and teh radios of the circular movement.
w=2*π*f
We know that the turntable is set to 33 1/3 rev/m so
the frequency 33.33/60=0.55 Hz
then w=2*π*0.55=3.45 rad/s
Finally the centripetal acceleration at differents radii results equal:
r= 0.05 m ac=3.45^2*0.05=0.50 m/s^2
r=0.1 ac=3.45^2*0.1=1.20 m/s^2
r=0.14 ac=3.45^2*0.14=1.66 m/s^2
Work done by a given force is given by
here on sled two forces will do work
1. Applied force by Max
2. Frictional force due to ground
Now by force diagram of sled we can see the angle of force and displacement
work done by Max = 
Now similarly work done by frictional force
Now total work done on sled
