If a mass attached to the center of a vertical circle swings around at a fixed speed (v) and gravity pulls straight downward, would the tensions in the rope attached to the mass be different at the top of the circle, straight down to bottom of circle, and directly straight out from the center of the circle? Would they equal? If not, which one has the most and least tension? There is a circle with the problem with point A at 6:00, point B at 3:00, and point C at 12:00 and the mass is between point A and B.
