Question

A ball is held at rest at position $A$ in Fig. $\mathbf{P} 5.115$ by two light strings. The horizontal string is cut, and the ball starts swinging as a pendulum. Position $B$ is the farthest to the right that the ball can go as it swings back and forth. What is the ratio of the tension in the supporting string at $B$ to its value at $A$ before the string was cut?
