A pebble with mass m is attached to a massless cord of length L and whirled in a vertical circle of radius R.
a. What is the minimum speed v at the rock’s highest point for which it stays in a circular path? (Hint: possible smallest value of tension force is zero)
b. If the speed at the rock’s lowest point in its circular path is twice the value found in part [a], what is the tension in the string when the rock is at this point?
