A ball of mass (m) is connected by a light string of length (L) to a frictionless pivot point P and swings as a pendulum as shown in Fig. (1). The ball is released from rest at point A when the string makes an angle of 8 with vertical. Determine: 1) The velocity of the ball as it passes through point B. 2) The tension TA in the string at A. 3) The tension TB in the string at B. C

Hanging from the ceiling over a baby bed, well out of baby’s reach, is a string with plastic shapes, as shown here. The string is taut (there is no slack), as shown by the straight segments. Each plastic shape has the same mass m , and they are equally spaced by a distance d , as shown. The angles labeled describe the angle formed by the end of the string and the ceiling at each end. The center length of sting is horizontal. The remaining two segments each form an angle with the horizontal, labeled . Let T1 be the tension in the leftmost section of the string, T2 , be the tension in the section adjacent to it, and T3 be the tension in the horizontal segment.
