3. Circular Motion and Centripetal Force An object of mass m1=4.00 kg is tied to an object of mass m2=3.00 kg with string 1 of length /=0.500 m. The combination is swung in a vertical circular path on a second string, String 2, of length /=0.500 m. During the motion, the two strings are collinear at all times as shown in the figure. At the top of its motion, m2 is traveling at v =4.00 m/s. 3.1 What is the tension in string 1 at this instant? 3.2 What is the tension in string 2 at this instant? 3.3 Which string will break first if the combination is rotated faster and faster? m1 String 1 1 String 2 m2 1 3.
