A rope can withstand a maximum tension of 75 N before snapping . What maximum speed can you spin a 6.0 kg rock in a vertical circle of radius 1.5 m without breaking the rope?

The maximum speed of the stone without breaking the rope is 4.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

maximum tension the rope can withstand, T = 75 N

mass of the rock, m = 6 kg

radius of the circle, r = 1.5 m

As the stone spin in a vertical circle, it performs circular motion with centripetal acceleration directed inwards. The maximum centripetal force during this motion will be equal to maximum tension on the rope.

Therefore, the maximum speed of the stone without breaking the rope is 4.33 m/s.
