Question
1. A student ties two rocks together with a lightweight 48.0 cm string. She takes a second
string of length 30.0 cm and ties it to one of the rocks. She then swings the rocks around in
a horizontal circle with that second, inner string. The inner rock has a mass of 84.0 g and
the outer rock has a mass of 60.0 g. Her friend times the motion with a stopwatch as the
rocks move together at a constant speed. They complete 10 revolutions in 13.8 s.
Find the tension force exerted by each string as the rocks are moving at a constant speed.
