A small mass of 5g is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length 20 cm and the other end of the string is fixed. The string is held taut and horizontal and the mass is released. When the string reaches the vertical position, what are the magnitudes of: (a) the kinetic energy of the mass, (b) the velocity of the mass, (c) the acceleration of the mass, (d) the tension in the string? (Neglect air friction.)

A82 A small mass of 5g is attached to one end of a
light inextensible string of length 20 cm and
the other end'of the string is fixed. The string is
held taut and horizontal and the mass is
released. When the string reaches the vertical
position, what are the magnitudes of:
(a) the kinetic energy of the mass,
(b) the velocity of the mass,
(c) the acceleration of the mass,
(d) the tension in the string?
(Neglect air friction.)
