In the hammer throw, an(mathbb{N T}) athlete spins a heavy mass in a circle at the end
Question:
In the hammer throw, an\(\mathbb{N T}\) athlete spins a heavy mass in a circle at the end of a cable before releasing it for distance. For male athletes, the "hammer" is a mass of \(7.3 \mathrm{~kg}\) at the end of a \(1.2 \mathrm{~m}\) cable, which is typically a 3.0 -mm-diameter steel cable. A world-class thrower can get the hammer up to a speed of \(29 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If an athlete swings the mass in a horizontal circle centered on the handle he uses to hold the cable
a. What is the tension in the cable?
b. How much does the cable stretch?
