Centripetal Force
 

Centripetal Force problem 9


A ball of mass 100 g is suspended on a long rope of length 1 m. The ball is moved away so that it is inclined at an angle to the vertical and then released.


Setting up the experiment .



  • How high is the ball raised relative to its lowest position?

  • What is the velocity of the ball as it passes through the lowest position?

  • Draw the external forces on the ball in its lowest position and name them.

  • Determine the magnitude of external forces on the ball in its lowest position.
