2) A ball with a weight of 0.3N is attached to the end of an elastic thin cord of which unstretched
length is 59cm. The other end of the cord is fixed at a point on the horizontal frictionless surface
of a table. The stiffness of the cord is 20 N/m. At an instant, the ball moves with a velocity of
2.95 m/s which is perpendicular to the radius of curvature of the path of the ball and the length
of the cord is 89cm at that instant. For the elastic cord to be stretched all the time during the
motion of this ball, what is the minimum value of the velocity of the ball?
Telemetry technology is used to quantify kinematic values of a 200-kg roller-coaster cart as it passes overhead. According to the system, r= 25 m, 0=-0.32 rad/s2. At this instant, determine (a) the normal force between the cart and the track, (b) the radius of curvature of the track.
