Circular Motion with String Tension

Circular Motion with String Tension

Demonstrating centripetal force as tension in a string

0.5 kg
1.5 m
4.0 m/s

Physics Calculations

Tension in string 5.33 N
Centripetal force 5.33 N
Angular velocity 2.67 rad/s
Net force on particle 5.33 N (T)
T = mv²/l (Tension provides centripetal force)
F_net = T (No other forces act radially)
ω = v/r (Angular velocity)
