The tension in the given chain with a mace attached to it.
Answer to Problem 9STP
The tension in the magical chain is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A warrior swings a mace of 5.6-kgon the end of a massless chain whose length is 86-cm in a horizontal circle above his head such that one revolution takes 1.8 s.
Formula Used:
An object of mass m attached to a string revolving with respect to a center undergoes a centripetal acceleration a. The
The centripetal acceleration is dependent on the length of the string r and time for one full revolution
Figure 1
Calculation:
Here, the length of string is given as
Therefore, the centripetal tension force in the string is given by,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the tension in the string is 58.622 N.
