A small 0.500−kg0.500-\mathrm{kg} object moves on a frictionless horizontal table in a circular path of radius 1.00 m1.00 \mathrm{~m}. The angular speed is 6.28 rad/s6.28 \mathrm{~rad} / \mathrm{s}. The object is attached to a string of negligible mass that passes through a small hole in the table at the center of the circle. Someone under the table begins to pull the string downward to make the circle smaller. If the string will tolerate a tension of no more than 1280 N1280 \mathrm{~N}, what is the radius of the smallest possible circle (in cm\mathrm{cm}) on which the object can move?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
25
Option A (25) is correct because it is calculated using the conservation of angular momentum and the centripetal force equation.
