8- + 3 points SerCP117·P.027 My Notes O Ask Your Teacher An air puck of mass mi -0.30 kg is tied to a string and allowed to revolve in a circle of radius R 0.9 m on a frictionless horizontal table. The other end of the string passes through a hole in the center of the table, and a mass of m2 = 1.2 kg is tied to it (see the figure below). The suspended mass remains in equilibrium while the puck on the tabletop revolves. (a) What is the tension in the string? (b) What is the horizontal force acting on the puck? (c) What is the speed of the puck? m's Need Help? Read It

Explanation / Answer

(A) T = m2 g = 1.2 x 9.81

T = 11.77 N

(b) F = T = 11.77 N

(c) F = m v^2 /r

11.77 = 0.30 v^2 / 0.9

v = 5.94 m/s
