A yo-yo is swung with a constant speed in a vertical circle. If the yo-yo has a mass of 80 g and the radius of the circle is 1.5 m, find the minimum speed that this yo-yo must have at the top of the circle so that the cord does not slacken.

          If the Yo-Yo string doesn't slacken, the centrifugal force at the top is greater than or equal to the force exerted due to the weight of the Yo-Yo (mass of string is considered negligible here). Only then there is some tension in the string to prevent it from slackening.



          beginalignrequirecancelcancelm,fracv^2r &ge cancelmg\ fracv^2r &ge g\ v &gesqrtgrendalign



          $m$: mass of the Yo-Yo, $v$: velocity at highest point,



          $r$: vertical radius of the circle (or length of the string) and $g$ is acceleration due to gravity.



          Since you are looking for minimum speed, we can take minimum value of $v$ , that is



          $sqrtgr=sqrt(9.8times1.5)=3.83largefracmathrmmmathrmsec$



          which is basically independent of the mass of the yo-yo.
