A rope loop of radius r = 0 . 1 m and mass m = 5 0 π g rotates on a frictionless table such that the tangential velocity of any point on the loop is v tangential = 6 m / s .
Find the tension in the loop (in Newtons).

. We're sorry about the hassle.
You have a misprint: answer is 9N, not 900N.

Yes. Sorry Sir

Also, why do you use points (.) instead of multiplication × in the fractions ?
Otherwise, it is ok toh?
The code for ≈ is \approx .
Can I have an easier explanation. Please?

Yes, we can solve this problem very easily by drawing the free body diagram of half rope and writing Newton's laws equation for it.
Either I missed a decimal, but I got 90 N? 50 g is 0.05 kg perhaps this is the mistake?

No, the solution is correct, I just doublechecked it.
@Md Zuhair - hi, I see the prove. It is delicate besides one point. How can we get two Tention at A and B but have different directions

Thanks.Yes. Tension is an internal force and think about the portion AB. First of all ,tension at A pulls the part AB in anti clockwise direction where as B pulls the part AB in clockwise direction. so it cancels out to zero.
If i answered your question correct then it is ok, or else please explain your question sir.
m = 50 pi/1000 kg = 25/1000 * 2pi kg dm = 25/1000 dt, with t being "theta" T sin(dt/2) 2 = dm v²/r = 25/1000 dt v²/r, with sin(dt) = dt T dt/2 2 = 25/1000 dt v²/r T = 25/1000 36/0.1 T = 25 36/100 = 9N
Thank you for a great explanation
Shouldnt be 18 N? The centrepetal force is acting on two ends of the string, so 2Tsin(theta)=2F.

Centripetal force is acting along the radius and away from the centre. It is balanced by components of tension,
As I remember from high school F=ma; a=V/r so F=m V/r. Do not forget to put m in kilogram instead of gram m=50π/1000=0.05π. F= 0.05п 6/0.1=3π=3*3.14=9 The answer is 9H. Regards, Serhiy

Here in the figure, we have a loop and we took an elemental part magnified its view as the above picture.
You can see that Tension T is acting on the arc, and it is making an angle θ with the center.
So breaking up the rectangular components of the tension, we have
T cos θ = T cos θ which cancel out each other.
We are left with
2 T sin θ which will balance the centrepetal force r m v 2 .
⟹ 2 T sin θ = r m v 2 . . . ( i )
where m is the mass of that small portion of the loop.
So, m = 2 π r M × d l ⟹ 2 π r M . d l
Here d l is the arc length of the small portion.
We know d l = R 2 θ
Putting d l , We get
m = 2 π r M . r . 2 θ ⟹ π M θ
Putting values of m in (i)
We get
2 T sin θ = r m v 2 ⟹ 2 T sin θ = r . π M . θ . v 2
As θ is small, Using small angle approximation we have
sin θ ≈ θ [Actually not exactly equal]
We have
⟹ 2 T . θ = r . π M . θ . v 2
⟹ 2 T = r . π M v 2
⟹ T = 2 r . π M v 2
So we have our Tension as T = 2 r . π M v 2
Putting the values of the question, we get 9 N
