Chapter 8, Problem 43EAP
A 4.4-cm-diameter, 24 g plastic ball is attached to a 1.2-m-long string and swung in a vertical circle. The ball’s speed is 6.1 m/s at the point where it is moving straight up. What is the magnitude of the net force on the ball? Air resistance is not negligible.

A daredevil is going to ride her rocket-powered motorcycle through a circular loop-the- loop which has a 3.0 meter radius. She has 50.0 meters to get up to speed before going into the loop. Assuming there is no friction or air resistance, what maximum force must be applied to the motorcycle over the 50.0 m in order for her to make it through the loop without losing consciousness? Most humans can experience accelerations up to 3g before losing consciousness. Assume the combined mass of the rider and motorcycle is 250 kg. I keep getting 367N but the study guide says 510 N (rounded from 514.5 N)

A block with mass m tied to a string with length L is being swung in a vertical circle (nothing touches the block
except for the string). At the highest point of the circle, the tension in the string has six times the magnitude of
the gravitational force acting on the block. What is the block's speed at this point?
