A 10 lb weight is tied at the end of a rope 2 ft long and is swung in a vertical circle in a clockwise direction. If the maximum tension on the string is limited to 100 lbs, compute the maximum velocity that the weight will be swung, the velocity at the top, and the tension on the string at the top.
