Question

solve,  answer is provided, show all steps.

The problem involves a ball with a mass \( m \) attached to a cord of length \( l \). The cord is secured at the top to a swivel, allowing the ball to move with an initial velocity \( v_0 \). The objective is to demonstrate that the angle \( \theta \), which the cord forms with the vertical as the ball follows a circular path, satisfies the equation:

\[
\tan \theta \sin \theta = \frac{{v_0}^2}{gl}
\]

The scenario disregards air resistance and the size of the ball.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The accompanying diagram illustrates the ball at the end of the cord. The cord is shown as a line extending from the swivel point \( O \) (at the top) to the ball, which is moving in a horizontal circular path. The angle \( \theta \) between the vertical line and the cord is depicted. The circle at the bottom represents the path of the ball's travel, with a velocity vector \( v_0 \) indicating the direction of the ball's motion.
