Question

The aliens have kidnapped Jimmy. Jane is preparing to fight the aliens and rescue Jimmy. She is swinging a 1.7 m sling in a vertical circle with a 4.9 kg cat in it at a constant speed of 6 m/s. If Jane releases the sling at the bottom of the circle at an angle of 23degrees with the vertical. What will the tension in the sling be? The aliens have kidnapped Jimmy. Jane is preparing to fight the aliens and rescue Jimmy. She is swinging a 1.7 m sling in a vertical circle with a 4.9 kg cat in it at a constant speed of 6 m/s. If Jane releases the sling at the bottom of the circle at an angle of 23degrees with the vertical. What will the tension in the sling be?

Explanation / Answer

Here ,

L = 1.7 m

m = 4.9 Kg

v = 6 m/s

let the tension in the string is T

Now, for the force along string

T - m * g * cos(theta) = m * v^2/L

T = 4.9 * (9.8 * cos(23 degree) + 6^2/1.7)

T = 148 N

the tension in the sling is 148 N
