Question

A 0.3 kg mass attached to a 1.5 m long string is whirled in a horizontal circle at a speed of 6.0 m/s. What is the tension in the string? (neglect gfavity)

Answer 1

Hi I hope this is correct!

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use this formula to solve this question T = mv^2/R

m = 0.3 kg , v = 6.0 m/s , R = 1.5 m

T = (0.3 kg)(6.0 m/s)^2 / 1.5 m

= 7.2 Newtons

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3
