14. Consider the following changes to the example problem (pp. 165-166).
a. The mass is doubled, but all other quantities remain the same. What would be the effect on the velocity, acceleration, and force?

Since rand T remain the same, [pic]

remain the same. The new value of the mass is m2 = 2m1. The new force is F2 = m2 a= 2m1 a= 2 F1, double the original force.

b. The radius is doubled, but all other quantities remain the same. What would be the effect on the velocity, acceleration, and force?
