Homework Equations
ƩF = ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I know how to break this problem up into the x and y direction
Y Direction:
Ft cosθ - Fg = 0
X Direction:
Ft sinθ - Fg = mv2 / r
The hint says to find the inward radial component. I'm guessing this means to find r, because I think that is the only thing missing for me to solve this. To find r I think I would use some combination of the length of the string and theta, but don't exactly know.
Thanks for any help!
