Solution 1

As object is moving around a circular path with a constant speed, so only possible
acceleration will be centripetal acceleration or radial acceleration.  
This centripetal acceleration is always directed toward the centre of the circle and its
magnitude can be calculated by following relation.
(a) The centripetal acceleration
v2
ac =
r
Mass= m = 5 kg, Speed= v = 6 m.s-1 and r = 18 cm = 0.18 m

(6)2
ac = = 200 m.s-2
0.18
(b) The net force
m v2
Fnet=
r
5∗6 2
Fnet= = 1000 N
0.18

Solution 2

(a) The centripetal acceleration

v2
ac =
r

Mass= m = 25 kg, Speed= v = 3 m.s-1 and r = 3 m

32
ac = = 3 m.s-2

(b) The net force
m v2
Fnet=
r

25∗32
Fnet= = 75 N

(c)  Weight is mass times the gravitational acceleration at that place or w=mg. Where
g= 9.81 m. s-2. The ratio between these two forces is
Fnet 75
= = 0.306
w 25∗9.81
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Solution 3 The child revolves in a circular path, so the net centripetal force experiences, is
determined by
m v2
Fc= (1)
r
Mass= m = 20 kg, Force (Tension) = F= 100 N and r = 2 m and ω=?
As we Know that the relationship between linear and angular speed is
v=rω (2)
So, from equation 1 the speed is
r∗F 2∗100
v=
√ m
=
√ 20
= 3.16 m. s-1

Now from equation 2 the ω is

v 3.16
ω= = = 1.581 rad. s-1
r 2
1
As we know That 1 Rev= 2π rad, so 1rad= Revolution, using this value
2π
1
ω = 1.581* rev. s-1
2π
ω = 0.252 rev. s-1
1
and 1 min = 60 sec, and 1sec= min so using this value we get
60
rev
ω = 0.252*
sec
rev
ω = 0.252* 1
min
60
ω = 0.252* 60 rev. min-1
ω = 15.12 rpm

Solution 4 The child turns one-quarter of a circle in 1.6 seconds. Using the definition of
speed, as distance travelled divided by time elapsed, we can find its speed. 
But here, the distance travelled is the circumference of one-quarter of a circle of radius 12
meters so,
1
Distance= d= (2πr)
4
Mass= m = 35 kg, Time = t= 1.6 sec and r = 12 m
(a) The speed of child is
Distance
Speed = v =
Time
1 1
Distance= d= (2πr) = (2*3.1415*12) = 18.849 m

18.849
Speed = v = = 11.78 m. s-1

(b) The acceleration of child is
v2
ac =
r

11.782
ac = = 11.56 m. s-2

(c) The net force on the of child is
m v2
Fc=

Fc= 35∗11.56= 404.6 N
