An 8.0-m massless rod is loosely pinned to a frictionless pivot at 0, as shown in the figure. A very small 4.0-kg ball is attached to the other end of the rod.
 
  The ball is held at A, where the rod makes a 30 angle above the horizontal, and is released. The ball-rod assembly then swings freely with negligible friction in a vertical circle between A and B. The tension in the rod when the ball passes through the lowest point at D is closest to
 
  A) 160 N.
  B) 200 N.
  C) 120 N.
  D) 80 N.
  E) 40 N.

Question 2

A mass is pressed against (but is not attached to) an ideal horizontal spring on a frictionless horizontal surface. After being released from rest, the mass acquires a maximum speed v and a maximum kinetic energy K.
 
  If instead the mass initially compresses the spring twice as far:
  A) Its maximum speed will be 2v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 2K.
  B) Its maximum speed will be 2v and its maximum kinetic energy will be K.
  C) Its maximum speed will be v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 2K.
  D) Its maximum speed will be 2v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 4K.
  E) Its maximum speed will be 4v and its maximum kinetic energy will be 2K.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
