Uniform Circular Motion

Pendulum Problem


<div class="wp-block-create-block-problemblock">A 1.2 kg mass, m, is swinging on a string pendulum of length 80 cm (the string has negligible mass).  As shown in the figure below, when ##\theta## is 10 degrees the velocity of the mass is 0.6 m/s.  Find the tension in the string and the acceleration of the mass at this moment.<br /><img src="/old/images/pendulumproblem.gif"  alt="centripetal acceleration pendulum physics problem "></div>
