body as the attractive gravitational force exerted on it by the
earth. Now, we can broaden the definition as: the weight of the
body is the total gravitational force exerted on the body by all
other bodies in the universe.When the body near the earth, we can
neglect all other gravitational forces and consider the weight as
just the earths gravitational attraction.At the surface of the moon
we can neglect all others forces and consider the bodys weight to
be gravitational attraction of the moon, and so on.

equal, would it be easier to drive at high speed around unbanked
horizontal curve on the moon than to drive around the same curve on
the earth? Explain.
FAP 0015 PHYSICS I
-
*FAP 0015 PHYSICS I*REASONING AND SOLUTIONThe maximum safe speed
with which a car can round an unbanked horizontal curve of radius r
is given by . Since the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is
roughly one sixth that on earth, the safe speed for the same curve
on the moon would be less than that on earth. In other words, other
things being equal, it would be more difficult to drive at high
speed around an unbanked curve on the moon as compared to driving
around the same curve on the earth.

Is string more likely to break when the circle is horizontal or
when it vertical? Account for to your answer assuming the constant
speed is the same in each case.
FAP 0015 PHYSICS I
-
*FAP 0015 PHYSICS I*REASONING AND SOLUTIONWhen the string is
whirled in a horizontal circle, the tension in the string, FT,
provides the centripetal force which causes the stone to move in a
circle. Since the speed of the stone is constant, and the tension
in the string is constant.When the string is whirled in a vertical
circle, the tension in the string and the weight of the stone both
contribute to the centripetal force, depending on where the stone
is on the circle.

EPF 0014 PHYSICS I
-
*FAP 0015 PHYSICS I*Now, however, the tension increases and
decreases as the stone traverses the vertical circle. When the
stone is at the lowest point in its swing, the tension in the
string pulls the stone upward, while the weight of the stone acts
downward. Therefore, the centripetal force is .
Thus This tension is larger than in the horizontal case.
Therefore, the string has a greater chance of breaking when the
stone is whirled in a vertical circle.
