Question

A ball on a string is being swung around in a circle at a constant speed. The ball's current position and direction of rotation are shown below (from a bird's eye view).  To solve the following questions you will need the following information:

Mass of ball = 0.28kg

Radius of circular path = 2.68m

Speed of Ball = 5.9m/s
