Question

Review the free body diagram illustrating the forces acting on the bowling ball T - mg = ma Why did the string not break when pulled slowly upward? The tension on the string will always be 40 N greater than the weight of the bowling ball regardless of acceleration. The tensile strength of the string is high enough to correspond to the rate of acceleration. Once the ball is moving at a constant speed it's inertia will decrease the tension on the string. The string will not break as long as the acceleration of the ball is greater or equal to + 9.8 m/s^2.
