A 3,65 kg mass attached to a
light string rotates on a
horizontal, frictionless table. The
radius of the circle is 1.21 m, and
the string can support a mass of
32.4 kg before breaking. The
acceleration of gravity is
9.8m/s2. What maximum
speed can the mass have before
the string breaks?

This question involves the concepts of tension, weight, and centripetal force.

The maximum speed, the mass can have before the string breaks is "10.26 m/s".

First, we will find the maximum tension force:

Tension = Weight

T = W = mg = (32.4 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

T = 317.84 N

Now, this tension force must be equal to the centripetal force:

[tex]T = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\v=\sqrt{\frac{Tr}{m}}[/tex]

where,

v = maximum speed = ?

r = radius = 1.21 m

m = mass = 3.65 kg

Therefore,

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{(317.84\ N)(1.21\ m)}{3.65\ kg}}\\[/tex]

v = 10.26 m/s
