CENTRIFUGAL FORCE

91. A wooden block having a weight of 50 N is placed

at a distance of 1.5 m from the center of a
circular platform rotating at a speed of 2
radians per second. Determine the minimum
coefficient of friction of the blocks so that it
will not slide. Radius of the circular platform
is 3 m.
A. 0.55 B. 0.58

92. A boy tied an 80 grams stone to a string which

he rotated to form a circular motion with a
diameter of 1000 mm. Compute for the pull
exerted on the string by the stone if it got
loose leaving at a velocity of 25 m/s.
A. 120 N B. 100 N
C. 150 N D. 135 N

93. A man keeps a 1 kg toy airplane flying

horizontally in a circle by holding onto a 1.5 m
long string attached to its wing tip. The string
is always in the plane of the circular path. If
the plane flies at 10 m/s, find the tension in
the string.
A. 28 N B. 15 N
C. 67 N D. 18 N

94. A horizontal platform with a diameter of 6 m

C. 6.46 D. 6.12

95. The seat of the carousel are attached to a

vertical rotating shaft by a flexible cable 8 m
long. The seats have a mass of 75 kg. What is
the maximum angle of tilt for the seats if the
carousel operates at 12 rpm?
A. 30° B. 35°
C. 45° D. 39°

Situation – A small coin is placed on a flat,

horizontal turntable. The turntable is
observed to make exactly three revolutions in
3.3 s.

Situation – A 5-Newton ball is fastened to the end

of a flat spring. A force of 2 Newtons is
sufficient to pull the ball 6 cm to one side.

98. Find the force constant in N/m.

A. 33.33 N/m B. 44.44 N/m
