Young David who slew Goliath experimented with slings beforetackling the giant. He found that he could revolve a sling oflength 0.750 m at the rate of7.00 rev/s. If he increased the lengthto 1.050 m, he could revolve the slingonly 5.00 times per second.
(a) What is the speed of the stone for each rate of rotation?
m/s at 7.00rev/s
m/s at 5.00 rev/s
(b) What is the centripetal acceleration of the stone at7.00 rev/s?
m/s2
(c) What is the centripetal acceleration at 5.00 rev/s?
m/s2
