A 2kg puck slides with uniform circular motion on a smooth surface. When the radius is 0.80m, the tension in the rope connecting the puck to the center of rotation is 15N.
Find:
a. Free body diagram of the puck (looking at it from the side) when the center of rotation is to the left of it.
b. The angular velocity of the system
c. The acceleration of the system
d. The period of the system e. If the radius is increased to 1.60m but the angular velocity remains constant, determine the tension in the rope.
f. If the radius is 0.80m, but the angular velocity is doubled, determine the tension in the rope.
