Question
4. A weight, attached to a cord, is travelling on a smooth circular table. A cord is pulling the weight
radially inward with a constant velocity of 5 cm/s. There are no forces in the 8-direction, so a = 0.
0 = 10 rad/s
r=20cm
5 cm/s
a. At the time shown on the figure, what is the radial component of acceleration?
b. What is the angular acceleration, ö, of the block? (Hint: a = 0, but 0 +0)
