Question

Se coloca una piedra de 600 g en una Honda de 50 cm y se la hace girar a una velocidad de 4 m/s. Dibuja la fuerza que ejerce la honda y calcula su módulo. ¿cómo afecta el peso a este caló? ¿Y su masa?

Answer 1

Fc = 19.2 N

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the force of the Honda over the rock, is a centripetal force. Then, you have:

`F_c=m(v^2)/(r)`

m: mass of the rock = 600g = 0.6 kg

v: tangential velocity of the Honda = 4m/s

r: radius of the Honda = 50cm = 0.5m

You replace the values of m, r and v in the equation for Fc:

`F_c=(0.6kg)((4m/s)^2)/(0.5m)\\\\F_c=19.2N`

hence, the force has a magnitude of 19.2 N

If the rock would have more mass the centripetal force would be higher
