Young David who slew Goliath experimented with slings before tackling the giant. He found that he could revolve a sling of length 0.600 meter at the rate of 9.00 rev/s. If he increased the length to 0.900 meter, he could revolve the sling only 7.00 times per second.
(a) Determine the speed of the stone for each rate of rotation?
m/s at 9.00 rev/s
m/s at 7.00 rev/s
(b) Find the centripetal acceleration of the stone at 9.00 rev/s?
m/s2
(c) Find what is the centripetal acceleration at 7.00 rev/s?
m/s2
