Using Figure 13.9, carefull sketch a free body diagram for the case of a simple pendulum hanging at latitude lambda, labeling all forces acting on the point mass,m. Set up the equations of motion for equilibrium, setting one coordinate in the direction of the centripetal accleration (toward P in the diagram), the other perpendicular to that. Show that the deflection angle

The rope makes an angle with the vertical, defined as 8. The vertical angle is dependent on the length of the rope and the speed at which the mass moves. Assuming the mass is moving in uniform circular motion, calculate its speed, v, given that the length of the rope is = 5.50 m and the angle is 0= 70.5°.
