ans in newtons

amistre64 · Answer

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

amtran_bus · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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.

amistre64 · Answer

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