A stone with a mass of 0.70 kg is attached to one end of a string 0.70 m long. The string will break if its tension exceeds 65.0 N. The stone is whirled in a horizontal circle on a frictionless tabletop; the other end of the string remains fixed.

Answer:v=8.06 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

mass of stone
m=0.7 kg

length of string
L=0.7 m

Maximum Tension
T=65 N

the string will not break if Centripetal Force is less than maximum tension


T=(mv^2)/(r)


65=(0.7* v^2)/(0.7)


v^2=65


v=√(65)


v=8.06 m/s
