A ball is suspended from a light 1.1 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 21 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s. a. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)?  b. What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?
