1. The centripetal force is friction which cannot increases above a certain point (=mu R=mu mg where mu=coefficient of friction)
The centrifugal force is F=mv^2/r
When mv^2/r >mu mg the toy starts to slip

a)speed=wA*sin(wt) and max speed=wA so =wA*sin(wt)/wA =sin wt=1/2
x=Acos wt so x/A=cos wt=sqrt(1-sin^2 wt)=sqrt(1-(1/2)^2)=(sqrt(3))/2
b)1/2mv^2=1/2msin^2(wt)=1/2kx^2=1/2kcos^2 wt
tan^2 wt =k/m so tan wt =sqrt(k/m) and sec^2 wt=1/(cos^2 wt)=1+tan^2 wt =1+k/m so cos^2 wt=1/(1+k/m)
x=1/2k cos wt=1/2 k sqrt(1/(1+k/m))

R=sqrt(V/pi L)
%uncertainty in R is 1/2 (%uncertainty in V + %uncertainty in L)
because of the root
%=1/2 (0.5/15 +0.1/20) *100 =1.92%
