Answer:
Tension in the leather string is T = 25.6 N
Explanation:
As we know that belt is revolving in horizontal circle
So the tension force in the belt will provide the required centripetal force
So we will have
[tex]T = \frac{mv^2}{L}[/tex]
now we have
[tex]v = 8 m/s[/tex]
L = 1.25 m
m = 0.5 kg
so we have
[tex]T = \frac{0.5(8^2)}{1.25}[/tex]
[tex]T = 25.6 N[/tex]
