A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a ball of mass m to a string of length L, then allowing the ball to move in a horizontal circle of radius r. The following figure(Figure 1) shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name. Find an expression for the tension T in the string.
A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a 0.600 kg ball to a 1.00 m -long string, then allowing the mass to move in a horizontal circle of radius 20.0 cm. What is the tension in the string (in Newtons)? What is the ball's angular velocity, in rpm?
A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a 0.500 kg ball to a 1.00 m-long string, then allowing the mass to move in a horizontal circle of radius 40.0 cm. The figure shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name. What is the tension in the string? What is the ball's angular velocity, in rpm?
