Explanation / Answer

8.25 a) We apply conservation of energy from the release point to the lowest point:

                       E = K1 + U1 = K2 + U2;

                       0 + mgL(1- cosqo) = 1/2mva2 + 0;

                       0 + (9.80m/s2)(1.50m)(1-cos30.0°) = 1/2va2,

                which gives va = .50 m/s

(b)   We apply conservation of energy from the release point to the given point:

                       E = K1 + U1 = K3 + U3;

                       0 + mgL(1-cosqo) = 1/2mvb2 + mgL(1 - cosqb);

                       0 + (9.80m/s2)(1.50m)(1 - cos30.0°)

                          = 1/2 vb2 + (9.80m/s2)(1.50m)(1 - cos15.0°),               

                    which gives vb = .5835 m/s

             (c)   We apply conservation of energy from the release point to the given point:

                       E = K1 + U1= K4+ U4;

                       0 + mgL(1 - cosqo) = 1/2mvc2 + mgL(1 -cosqc);

                       0 + (9.80m/s2)(1.50m)(1 -cos30.0°)

                         = 1/2vc2 + (9.80m/s2)(1.50m)[1 -cos(-15.0°)],

                    which gives vc = .5835

                    Because this is the same elevation as in part (b), the answer is the same.

d)e) and f)

he net force along the cord must provide the radial acceleration:

                       FT - mgcosq = mv2/L, or  FT = m[(v2/L) + gcosq].   

                    Thus we have

                       FTa = m[(va2/L) + gcosqa]

                              = (0.090kg){[(.5m/s)2/(1.50m)] + (9.80m/s2)cos0°} =  0.897N.

                       FTb = m[(vb2/L) + gcosqb]

                              = (0.090kg){[(.5m/s)2/(1.50m)] + (9.80m/s2)cos15} =  0.867N.

                       FTc = m[(vc2/L) + gcosqc]

                               = (0.090kg){[(.5m/s)2/(1.50m)] + (9.80m/s2)cos15} =  0.867N.
