Q. A stone on a string 80 cm $r_{c} = 80$ cm long is whirled round a horizontal circle at a steady speed, 14 $n_{rev} = 14$ times in 25 s $Δ t = 25$ s. What is its acceleration, in m/s²?

The solution

Solved with UniformCircularMotion

Given

$r_{c} = 80$ cm
$n_{rev} = 14$
$Δ t = 25$ s

Find $a_{c}$ .

Working

$r_{c} = 80$ cm $= 0.8$ m
rounds over the time(round) $ν = \frac{n_{rev}}{Δ t}$
$ν = \frac{14}{25}$
$ν = 0.56$ Hz
rounds a second(round) $ν = \frac{1}{T}$
$0.56 = \frac{1}{T}$
$T = 1.78571429$ s
once round a period(round) $ω = 2 \cdot \frac{π}{T}$
$ω = 2 \cdot \frac{3.14159265}{1.78571429}$
$ω = 3.51858377$ rad/s
speed round the circle(round) $v = ω \cdot r_{c}$
$v = 3.51858377 \cdot 0.8$
$v = 2.81486702$ m/s
towards the centre(round) $a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r_{c}}$
$a_{c} = \frac{{2.81486702}^{2}}{0.8}$
$a_{c} = 9.904$ m/s²
$a_{c} \approx 9.90$ m/s²to 3 significant figures

Conclusion

The stone moves at a steady speed but its direction changes constantly, so it has a centripetal acceleration toward the centre.
