1) A tetherball executes uniform circular motion in a horizontal plane, as shown. +y ? B X R +x A X m +x +z Side view Top view The radius of the circular motion is R = 1.8 m, and the rope makes an angle ? with the pole (the +y axis), as shown. The tetherball's mass is m = 0.7 kg and it moves with a constant speed of 4.5 m/s. What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope when the ball is at the location labeled A?

Step 1

- The forces acting on the tetherball are the gravitational force (weight) and the tension in the rope. The gravitational force acts downward, while the tension has components in both the vertical and horizontal directions. Show more…
