I'm swinging a pocket watch on its chain in a circular fashion. Because i have a crappy watch, the chain breaks exactly when the watch is traveling directly upward. If the chain, before breaking was 25.5 centimeters long, and I was swinging it a constant rate of 4 revolution per second, how high in the air (above the ground) will the watch go? (My hand was 0.8 meters above the ground when the chain broke)
v = rw
w = 4 rev/s = 25.13 rad/s
r = 25.5 cm = 0.255 m
v = wr = 6.408
s =v^2/2g
s = 2.095 m
max height = 0.8 + 2.095
hmax = 2.895 m
SOLUTION :
Angular acceleration = 4 * 2pi = 25.1327 rad/s
Initial velocity at breaking of chain upward = r * omega = 25.5 * 25.1327 = 640.88 cm/s = 6.4088 m/s
acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)
Maximum height attained
= 0.8 + v^2 / 2g (K. E. converted into P.E)
= 0.8 + (6.4088)^2 / (2*9.8)
= 2.8955 m
= 2.90 m approx. (ANSWER)\

I think I can pinpoint my confusion a bit better. Here comes my updated question (I'm not sure what the standard way of doing things is - please let me know if I should delete the old version). The major change is that I removed focus from the third question which probably is a purely mathematical question (in the notation below, it asks what properties of (M,T) together with (M,T) being consistent, forces (M,T) to be unique.). Say that a...
The professor didn't make an answer key for this study guide and I wanted to know if I'm doing these right. 4. A man pushes with a force of 700 N on a broken down car at an angle of 0 degrees from horizontal. He manages to move it form to a garage. How much energy does he use? 5. A block sits on a horizontal surface with friction. The mass of the block is kg. A force of 14Nis...
I need help to write a nice introduction for experiment 6 please ( no hands write ) typing Thank you HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS EXPERIMENT 6 EXPERIMENT 6 HEAT TREATMENT OF STEELS THEORY The Effect of Cooling Rate One of the most convenient methods for controlling the properties of a given steel, i.e., a steel whose composition is already fixed, consists of austenizing the steel and ten cooling to room temperature at some predetermined rate. A variation of cooling rates...
