an athlete whirls an 8.71 kg hammer tied to the end of a 1.5 m chain in a simple horizontal circle where you should ignore any vertical deviations the hammer moves at the rate of 1.16 rev/s what is the tension in the chain

T = 692.42 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg

Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m

The angular sped of the hammer,

We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :

So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.
