The below table summarizes the measured tension force (N) as a function of mass (kg), for a mass that is attached to a string and set to rotate in a uniform circular motion (with constant speed & constant radius) on a horizontal frictionless surface. Using an excel graph of F vs. m, the measured acceleration (m/s2) of the motion is: FT (kg) (N) m 0.05 1.27 0.15 3.64 0.25 6.13 0.35 8.56 0.45 11.05 O 48.96 12 24arrow_forwardCan you answer both Pictures-Problems that are related?arrow_forward
