Answer:
The woman's distance from the right end is 1.6m = (8-6.4)m.
The principles of moments about a point or axis running through a point and summation of forces have been used to calculate the required variable.
Principle of moments: the sun of clockwise moments must be equal to the sun of anticlockwise moments.
Also the sun of upward forces must be equal to the sun of downward forces.
Theses are the conditions for static equilibrium.
Explanation:
The step by step solution can be found in the attachment below.
Thank you for reading this solution and I hope it is helpful to you.
At time seconds, the mass has angular speed
and hence linear speed
After 8 s, its linear speed is
and has centripetal acceleration with magnitude
To maintain this linear speed, by Newton's second law the required centripetal force should have magnitude
