A 11.8-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging in a vertical circle. Assume a radial distance of 99.8 cm between the branch and the point where the monkey's mass is located. As the monkey swings through the lowest point on the circle, it has a speed of 3.22 m/s. Find:
a. The magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the monkey.
b. The magnitude of the tension in the monkey's arm.
Answer :
Answer:
Explanation:
Fc = mv²/R = 11.8(3.22)²/0.998 = 123 N
T = m(g + v²/R) = 11.8( 9.81 + 3.22²/0.998) = 238 N
