Uniform Circular Motion

Uniform Circular Motion Problems


<div class="wp-block-create-block-problemblock">A student is swinging a mass, m = 2.0 kg, in a uniform vertical circle of radius R = 2.5 m.  The period of the rotation is 2.8 seconds.  Draw a free body diagram for the mass at the top of the circle and find the tension of the string (ignore friction and the mass of the string.)  Repeat for the mass at the bottom of the rotation.</div>
