A 2.00Kg puck on a frictionless horizontal surface on the Earth is constrained to a circular orbit by a 4.00 meter long string attached to a vertical rod.  Assume the string is attached to the rod by a ring that lets it revolve around the rod without friction. The string can withstand up to a 50.0N tension without breaking. If the puck is 0.750Kg, what is the maximum centripetal acceleration the string can withstand?     a. 33.2 m/s2   b. 45.0 m/s2   c. 37.5 m/s2   d. 33.3 m/s2   e. 66.7 m/s2   f. 66.6 m/s2
