You make a conical pendulum (Figure 1) using a string of length 0.900 m and a bob of mass 0.350 kg. When the bob is moving in a circle at a constant speed, the string is at an angle of 10.0∘ from the vertical. What is the radius of the circle around which the bob moves? How much time does it take the bob to complete one circle? What is the tension in the string?

A 0.23 kg block is pressed up against a spring on a frictionless incline of angle 0 = 20.0° to the horizontal. The spring is initially
compressed by x = 0.30 m from its equilibrium position (first arrow shown). When released from rest, the block travels along the incline
a total distance (d + x) = 1.30 m until coming to rest again (where d = 1.00 m). What is the spring constant k? {Consider gravitational
and spring potential energies; conservation of energy 'system'}
