Question

6.10

A bowling ball weighing 71.2 N is attached to the ceiling by a4.00m rope. The ball is pulled to one side and released; itthen swings back and forth like a pendulum. As the rope swingsthrough its lowest point, the speed of the bowling ball is measuredat 4.10m/s .

At that instant, find the magnitude of the acceleration of thebowling bal a=__m/s2

At that instant find the direction of the acceleration of thebowling ball (upward, downward, in the direction of motion)

At that instant find the tension in the rope T=__N

Explanation / Answer

Here the direction of the force is perpendiculer to the pathof the balling ball so the acceleration will be 0 m/s. but stillthe acceleration has the downward direction
The tension on the rope will be equivalent to thewight of the ball which is 71.2 N.
