The two types of acceleration
Question

A mass of 0.1 kg is rotated in a vertical circle using a string of length 20 cm. When the string makes an angle 30o with the vertical, the speed of the mass is 1.5ms–1. The tangential acceleration of the mass at that instant is

Easy
Solution

at = mgsinθ / m

= g sin θ

= 9.8 x sin 300 m/s2

= 4.9 m/s2
