A stone, tied to the end of a string of length 50 cm, is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 40 revolutions in 20 s, what is the magnitude and the direction of the acceleration of the stone?
Answers
Given :-
Length of the string = 50 cm
Number of revolutions in 20 sec = 40
To Find :-
The magnitude and the direction of the acceleration of the stone.
Solution :-
We know that,
- w = Angular velocity
- r = Radius
- a = Acceleration
Using the formula,
Given that,
Revolution (n) = 2
Substituting their values,
w = 2 × 3.14 × 2
w = 12.56
Using the formula,
Given that,
Angular velocity (w) = 12.65
Radius (r) = 50 cm = 0.5 m
Substituting their values,
a = (12.56)² × 0.5
a = 157.7536 × 0.5
a = 78.87 m/s²
Therefore, the magnitude and the direction of the acceleration of the stone is 78.87 m/s².

- String's length = 50 cm.
- Revolution' number in 20 seconds = 40 revolutions.
- The magnitude and the direction of the acceleration of the stone.
Some formulas that are used in this question →
◕ Angular velocity = 2πn
◕ Radial equation = w²r
Revolution = 2 {Given}
✪ w = 2πn
✪ w = 2 × 3.14 × 2
✪ w = 4 × 3.14
✪ w = 12.56
✪ w = 12.56 {Finded}
✪ r = 50 cm {Given} = 0.5 m
✪ a = (12.56)² × 0.5
✪ a = 12.56 × 12.56 × 0.5
✪ a = 157.7536 × 0.5
✪ a = 78.87 m/s²
So, the magnitude and the direction of the acceleration of the stone is 78.87 m/s².
