3. For a physics lab, rubber stoppers are tied to a string which pulls through a hollow glass tube. At the other end of the string, masses can be hung, so that when the student holds the tube and spins the stopper around in a circle, the mass is suspended because the force of gravity is balanced by the centripetal force of the stopper spinning. When the 0.1 kg stopper is spinning with a radius of 0.3 m so that it moves at a constant speed of 4 m/s, what is the mass hanging on the string? A) 5.3 kg B) 1.3 kg C) 0.12 kg D) .014 kg E) 0.54 kg
