easy math problem

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

If the mass of the hammer is 7.26 kg, its center is 0.50 m from the thrower, and it is moving at a speed of 1.5 m/s, what is the tension in the chain?

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

ans in newtons

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you might have to include some detail as to what/where the chain is .....

OpenStudy (amtran_bus):

That is all I have with info for centripetal acceleration and newtons second law for circular motion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mass*Centripetal Acceleration = Mass*(Tangential Velocity^2 / Radius) = (7.26)*(1.5^2/.5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the force exerted on the chain by the hammer. The force exerted on the hammer by the chain is the tension force, and is the same in magnitude.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

without knowing the pictorial setup, its hard for me to imagine what you are portraying as a thrower, a chain, and a hammer
