Question

An object of mass 6.0 kg is whirled around in a vertical circle on the end of a 1.0 m long string with a constant speed of 8.0 m/s. Include a free-body diagram for each of the following questions:
a. Determine the maximum tension in the string, indicating the position of the object at the time the maximum tension is achieved.
b. What is the minimum speed the object could be rotated with and maintain a circular path?
c. If the object is rotated with the same speed (8.0 m/s) on a horizontal surface, what is the tension in the string if the string is parallel to the surface?
