Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

We are given this equation; $$60\;\rm N=(0.3\;kg)\omega^2(0.5\;m)$$ We can see that the 60 N is representing a radial force exerted on a 0.3 kg object which is moving in a circular path of radius 0.5 m. a) A boy is attaching a 0.3-kg rock to a wire and rotating it in a horizontal plane at which the radial force exerted on it is constant and equal to 60 N. The radius of the circular path is 50 cm, find its angular speed. --- b) Solving the given formula for $\omega$ $$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{0.5\times 0.3}}$$ $$\omega=\color{red}{\bf 20}\;\rm rad/s$$
