A conical pendulum consists of a mass of 0.5 kg attached at one end of a sting. The other end is fixed. As the mass moves in a circular path of radius 0.7 m, the string traces out the surface of a cone. What is the angle that the string makes with the ceiling?
A small ball of mass m is suspended by a string of length I. The Sung makes an angie ß with the vertical. The ball revolves in a circle with an unknown constant angular speed w. The orbital plane of the ball is at a height h above the ground. Let g be the gravitational constant. You may ignore air resistance and the size of the ball. m +y +x Find an expression for the angular speed w. Express you answer in terms of some or all of the following: 1, ß, and g.
A string under tension of 50.0 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.5 m at a speed of 20.4 m/s on a frictionless table. The string passes through a small hole in the table at the center of this circle. As the string is pulled in, the speed of the rock increases. When the string is 1.00 m long and the speed is 51.0 m/s, the string breaks. What is the breaking strength, in Newtons, of the string?

A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large cylinder in which people stand against the wall of the ride as it rotates. At a certain point the floor of the cylinder lowers and the people are surprised that they don't slide down. Suppose the radius of the cylinder is r = 12 m, and the friction between the wall and their clothes is μ = 0.62. Consider the tangential speed v of the ride's occupants as the cylinder spins. a) What is the minimum speed, in meters per second, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will "stick" to the wall? Vmin = b) What is the frequency fin revolutions per minute of the carnival ride when it has reached the minimum speed to "stick" someone to the wall? f=

A light, rigid rod is 68.5 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle?
