A light inextensible string of length L is fixed at its upper end and support a mass m at the other end. m is rotated at horizontal plane or radius r as shown. The maximum tension the string can withstand without breaking is 2N. Assuming the string breaks when the radius is maximum, calculate the velocity of the mass when the string breaks, given that L 1.25m, and m= 0.1kg.

In an experiment to determine the specific latent heat of vaporization of water, steam at 1000c was passed into water contained in a well-lagged copper calorimeter. The following measurements were made:
Mass of calorimeter = 50g
Initial mass of water = 70g
Final mass of calorimeter + water + condensed steam = 123g
Final temperature of mixture = 300C
(Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J kg -1K and specific heat capacity for copper = 390 J kg -1 K-1)
Determine the:
i) Mass of condensed steam
ii) Heat gained by the calorimeter and water
iii) Given that L is the specific latent heat of evaporation of steam
I. Write an expression for the heat given out by steam
II. Determine the value of L.
