I'm confused about this problem. (a diagram is included below)..
The 0.5 kg collar slides with negligible friction along the fixed spiral rod, which lies in the vertical plane. The rod has the shape of the spiral r = 0.3[tex]\theta[/tex], where r is in meters and [tex]\theta[/tex] is in radians. The collar is released from rest at A and slides to B under the action of a constant radial force T = 10 N. Calculate the velocity v of the slider as it reaches B.
Could someone help me get this started
I think it could be written [tex]{{\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}}^{\pi}T\cdot(0.3)d\theta= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2[/tex]
..is this even valid. If its not, then if I just wrote [tex]T\cdot{dr}[/tex], then how do I find T in terms of r, or find the relationship between T and the direction of dr.
Thanks for any input.
