    Mass inside a tube 2
    so again, I'm updating my question:

    The figure shows a mass M inside a tube bent in a circle of radius R=1.50 m. M can slide with negligible friction inside the tube. The tube rotates about a vertical axis passing through the center. The mass is in equilibrium at θ =43.5 degrees. Calculate the number of revolution the hoop makes in 10.0 s.
    so I got 4.78

    Now my problem is with this :
    Calculate the linear speed of the mass at that equilibrium location.
    (in m/s)


    here is it's picture

    susus - it's better to ask a follow-up question in the same thread as before, rather than starting a new thread. From that previous thread (here: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/physic...be-533066.html ), the linear speed of the mass is the tube rotates is:



    and for this problem



    You already know and , so what's the problem?

    Next time, just reply in the 'answer box'. The 'reply' button has a limited number of characters, so, it might be better in all cases to use the 'answer box'.
