A ball on the end of a string is whirled around
in a horizontal circle of radius 0.33 m. The
plane of the circle is 1.26 m above the ground.
The string breaks and the ball lands 2.4 m
away from the point on the ground directly
beneath the ball’s location when the string
breaks.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s
