A wrecking ball used to knock down buildings has a mass of m = 1460 kg and is suspended from a cable of length L = 24 m. It reaches a maximum speed of v = 14 m/s while traveling in a circular arc toward the building. What is the minimum tension in N that the cable must be able to support without breaking? Assume the cable is massless.If the cable can only support a tension of 10,000 N what is the highest mass the ball can have in kg?

A brick of mass 1.19 kg is attached to a thin (massless) cable and whirled around in a circle in a vertical plane. The circle has a radius of 1.34 m. The cable will break if the tension exceeds 45.0 Newtons. What is the maximum speed the brick can have at the bottom of the circle before the cable will break?
The cable lifting an elevator is wrapped around a 1.2-m-diameter cylinder that is turned by the elevator's motor. The elevator is moving upward at a speed of 1.9 m/s . It then slows to a stop, while the cylinder turns one complete revolution.How long does it take for the elevator to stop?
On the International Space Station an object with mass m = 440 g is attached to a massless string of length L = 0.61 m. The string can handle a tension of T = 5.8 N before breaking. The object undergoes uniform circular motion, being spun around by the string horizontally.What is the maximum speed v the mass can have before the string breaks? Give your answer in units of m/s.
A string under tension of 50.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.5 m at a speed of 20.4 m/s on a frictionless table. The string passes through a small hole in the table at the center of this circle. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 1.00 m long and the speed is 51.0 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in Newtons, of the string?
On the International Space Station an object with mass m = 290 g is attached to a massless string L = 0.99 m. The string can handle a tension of T = 6.8 N before breaking. The object undergoes uniform circular motion, being spun around by the string horizontally. What is the maximum speed v the mass can have before the string breaks? Give your answer in units of m/s.
A person pushing a uniformly-loaded 31.7 kg wheelbarrow of length L with pushing force P is attempting to get it over a step. The maximum horizontal force that the person can apply is P, = 233 N. What is the maximum height h of the step, expressed as a fraction n of the wheel's radius R. that the person can get the wheelbarrow over? The gravitational acceleration is g = 9.81 m/s². 8459 R Incorrect hnR
An ultracentrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 100,000 rpm in 2.0 min. If this ultracentrifuge accelerates 2.0 seconds starting from rest, what is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration in unit of gravitational acceleration g for your sample sitting at 6.0 cm from the center axis? Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Hint: compute the centripetal acceleration in unit of m/s2 first, then divided by g will be your answer. For example, if your centripetal acceleration is 19.6 m/s2, your answer measured in unit of g is 2.0.
A small object of mass 0.500 kg is attached by a 0.840 m-long cord to a pin set into the surface of a frictionless table top. The object moves in a circle on the horizontal surface with a speed of 8.80 m/s. What is the tension in the cord?
In deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a taut cable. The cable is 1 meter long (from the astronaut's fist to the tool), and the tool makes a full trip around the circle in half a second as it moves with constant speed. The mass of the tool is 10 kg. What is the tension in the cable?
A ball of mass 2 kilograms is attached to a rope of length 3 meters. The ball swings along a vertical circular path as shown in Figure 2. Only two forces weight – act on the ball. As the ball swings around, it travels slowest at the top and - tension and fastest at the bottom.
A ball is on the end of a string. The ball is being swung in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The length of the string is 1.16 m. The mass of the ball is 1.60 kg. The maximum tension the string can withstand before breaking is 46.0 N.What is the maximum speed of the ball without the string breaking when the ball is at the bottom of the circle (Point C in the figure)?
A light, rigid rod is 75.5 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. Wwhat minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? m/s
