How to see if one string contains another string?

A string is tied to a pin (radius 1mm) on one end and is pulled taut by a mechanism that travels round and round the pin. See inside.

  • The string is tied very tight to the pin so the knot never slips. The initial radius from center of pin to center of "mechanism" is 15cm in and the mechanism is traveling with an angular velocity of 30 cm/s. How long will it take for radius to half? Assume the string never overlaps while spinning around the pin. The string has negligible thickness.

  • Answer:

    PSSSSSSSH this is elementary mathematics at most.

30cm/s is not an angular velocity, and the fact that it isn't makes this one a bit harder than usual. Assuming the 30cm/s is the is the initial speed and the angular velocity stays the same at all times it's easy as π (*hint, hint*).

Good one.

Ya know...this might be easier than I first thought. Doesn't look like the 1mm radius of the pin means anything....oh well!
