A small ball of mass 62 g is suspended from a string of length 72 cm and whirled in a circle lying in the horizontal plane. r v 9.8 m/s 2 72 cm 62 g 32◦ If the string makes an angle of 32◦ with the vertical, find the centripetal force experienced by the ball. The acceleration of gravity is ____.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Centripetal force, [tex]F_x=0.379\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 62 g = 0.062 kg

Length of the string, l = 72 cm = 0.72 m

Angle, [tex]\theta=32^{\circ}[/tex]

To find,

The centripetal force experienced by the ball.

Solution,

According to the attached free body diagram,

[tex]T\ cos\theta-mg=0[/tex]

[tex]T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}[/tex]

[tex]T=\dfrac{0.062\times 9.8}{cos(32)}[/tex]

T = 0.716 N

The centripetal force will be experienced by the ball in horizontal direction. It is equal to :

[tex]F_x=T\ sin\theta[/tex]

[tex]F_x=0.716\ N\ sin(32)[/tex]

[tex]F_x=0.379\ N[/tex]

So, the centripetal force experienced by the ball is 0.379 N.

The centripetal force experienced by the small ball if mass 62 g and attached to the string is 0.379 N.

What is centripetal force?

Centripetal force is the force which is required to keep rotate a body in a circular path. The direction of the centripetal force is inward of the circle towards the center of rotational path.

Given information-

The mass of the small bag is 62 grams.

The length of the string is 72 cm.

Suppose T is the tension in the string, m is the mass of ball and g is the gravitational force.

The horizontal force applied on the body is,

[tex]\sum F_x=T\cos \theta-mg=0\\T=\dfrac{mg}{\cos \theta}[/tex]

The centripetal force applied on the body is,

[tex]F_c=T\sin \theta\\T=\dfrac{F_c}{\sin \theta}[/tex]

Compare both the values of the T, we get,

[tex]\dfrac{F_c}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{mg}{\cos \theta}\\{F_c}=\dfrac{mg\times{\sin\theta}}{\cos \theta}\\{F_c}={mg\times{\tan\theta}}[/tex]

Put the values as,

[tex]F_c=0.062\times9.8\times\tan(32)\\F_c=0.379\rm N[/tex]

Thus, the centripetal force experienced by the small ball if mass 62 g and attached to the string is 0.379 N.
