6.4 Exercise 43

Avg difficulty 2.5

A 30.0-g ball at the end of a string is swung in a vertical circle with a radius of 25.0 cm. The tangential velocity is 200.0 cm/s. Find the tension in the string: (a) at the top of the circle, (b) at the bottom of the circle, and (c) at a distance of 12.5 cm from the center of the circle (r=12.5cm).\left(r = 12.5 \text{cm}\right) .
