A stone tied to the end of a string of 1 m long is whirled in a horizontal circle with a constant speed. If the stone makes 22 revolutions in 44 seconds, what is the magnitude and direction of acceleration of the stone?
Multiple Choice Options
- A and direction along the radius towards the centre
- B and direction along the radius away from the centre
- C and direction along the tangent to the circle
- D and direction along the radius towards the centre.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
a r = _ 2 R & a t = d v d t = 0
or, ar= (2 � n)2R = 4 � 2 n 2 R 2
= 4 � 2 ( 22 44 ) 2 ( 1 ) 2
a net = a r = � 2 ms �2 and direction along the radius
towards the centre.
