Question
A ball is on the end of a string. The ball is being swung in a vertical circle at a constant speed. The length of the string is 1.25 m. The mass of the ball is 2.10 kg. The maximum tension the string can withstand is 61.0 N. What is the max speed of the ball without breaking the string when the ball is at the top of the circle (point a)?
