so that the supporting cord is vertical at a particular frequency of rotation. Assume the
mass of the bob is 400 g and the radius of revolution is 14 cm. With a stop watch the
time for 50 revolutions is found to be 35 s. What is the magnitude and direction of the
force acting on the bob? First find f in (rev/s).

Fc = 4.51 N, directed toward the center. The centripetal force is ON the bob.
The outward force ON the spring is NOT the centripetal force.
*10-62. In Problem 10-2 above, assume that a 100-g mass is added to the 400-g bob? The force
required to stretch the spring should be the same as before, but the rotating mass has
increased. What changes when the experiment is performed again so that the centripetal
force is the same as before? On what does the centripetal force act in this experiment?
Since the centripetal force must be the same, it is
necessary that the velocity be reduced so that:

The product mv2 must be the same.

outside edge. If the bug weighs 0.02 lb, what force acts on it? What exerts this force?
Where should the bug crawl in order to reduce this force by one-half?

The central force ON the bug is exerted BY the platform (Static friction).
