Position #1:
radius, r₁ = 3 ft
Tangential speed, v₁ = 6 ft/s
By definition, the angular speed is
ω₁ = v₁/r₁ = (3 ft/s) / (3 ft) = 1 rad/s
Position #2:
Radius, r₂ = 2 ft
By definition, the moment of inertia in positions 1 and 2 are respectively
I₁ = (4 lb)*(3 ft)² = 36 lb-ft²
I₂ = (4 lb)*(2 ft)² = 16 lb-ft²
Because momentum is conserved,
I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂
Therefore the angular velocity in position 2 is
ω₂ = (I₁/I₂)ω₁
= (36/16)*1 = 2.25 rad/s
The tangential velocity in position 2 is
v₂ = r₂ω₂ = (2 ft)*(225 rad/s) = 4.5 ft/s
At each position, there is an outward centripetal force.
In position 1, the centripetal force is
F₁ = m*(v²/r₂) = (4)*(6²/3) = 48 lbf
In position 2, the centripetal force is
F₂ = (4)*(4.5²/2) = 40.5 lbf
The radius diminishes at a rate of 2 ft/s.
Therefore the force versus distance curve is as shown below.
The work done is the area under the curve, and it is
W = (1/2)*(48.0+40.5 ft)*(3-2 ft) = 44.25 ft-lb

Answer:
Minimum capacitance = 200 μF
Explanation:
From image B attached, we can calculate the current flowing through the capacitors.
Thus;
Since V=IR; I = V/R = 5/500 = 0.01 A
Maximum charge in voltage is from 5V to 4.9V. Thus, each capacitor will have 2.5V. Hence, change in voltage(Δv) for each capacitor will be ; Δv = 0.05 V
So minimum capacitance will be determined from;
i(t) = C(dv/dt)
So, C = i(t)(Δt/Δv) = 0.01[0.001/0.05]
C = 0.01 x 0.0002 = 200 x 10^(-6) F = 200 μF
