Here's a picture http://img215.imageshack.us/my.php?image=physics6ry.png
A .10kg ball is on a string in vertical circular motion with a radius .80 meters and the whole system is above the ground .20 meters At the top the tangential velocity is 6.0m/s.
I'm wondering if these are correct:
1)At the lowest point on the circular path the tangential velocity is 2.0 m/s.
2)The tension at the top of the circular path is ~2.6 N
I found the velocity by using KE = PE
I found the tension of the top by: T = Fc + Fw
The reason I'm wondering this is because I figured out the speed, and tensions on the top and bottom and I came up with a higher tension in the top than in the bottom...
