Sum of Forces in the Y-direction is the following:
T*Sin(theta)=mg
Solve for theta
theta=Sin^-1(mg/T)
Theta=Sin^-1[(0.160kg*9.8m/s^2)/14.5N]
Theta=6.2ยบ
Imagine that you swing about your head a ball attached to the end of a string. The ball moves at a constant speed in a horizontal circle.
Part A
If the mass of the ball is 0.160kg and you supply a tension force of 14.5N to the string, what angle would the string make relative to the horizontal?
