1. A ball of mass m is attached to a string of length L. The ball is then swung in a
circle of radius r such that the string traces out the surface of a cone. For this problem
we will neglect air resistance.
a. Sketch a pictorial representation of the physical situation and label any quantities of
interest. In addition, establish a coordinate system for this problem and draw a free
body diagram for the ball. (See sections 1.7 and 5.7 of the text on how to draw a
correct pictorial representation and free body diagram.)
b. Write down Newton's Second Law using the coordinate system from part (a) and
the forces identified on your free body diagram.
c. Determine a symbolic expression for the tension T in the string and the angular
velocity w of the ball. These should be expressed in terms of the given quantities L,
m, r and the acceleration due to gravity, g. Check the physical units of
expressions to make sure that you get the units of force and angular velocity.

In researching the forces that act on flying birds, scientists studied the motion of cockatiels’ bodies as they fly in horizontal flight. As the birds beat their wings, their bodies move up and down. Given is the vertical acceleration of a cockatiel’s body during one wing beat, consisting of an upstroke followed by a downstroke.
a. If the bird’s mass is 87 g, what is the maximum net vertical force exerted on the bird?b. The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum value of this force due to the air?
