An object of mass M=0.24 kg is tied to a string of length L=9.801 m and the other end of the string is held fixed, as shown in the figure. The object is given an initial minimum tangential speed (vA = 9.9 m/s) that causes it to rotate in a vertical circle. If TA is the tension in the string at the top, and TB is the tension at the bottom, then find TB - TA (in units of N). (Take g = 10 m/s²)

Step 1
Since the object is moving in a circle, there must be a net centripetal force acting towards the center of the circle. Therefore, we can write the equation for the net force at point A as: TA + Mg = M*vA^2 / L Show more…
