A pendulum, mass attached to a string, is being sung in a horizontal circle by holding on the string. The sketch shows a position of the pendulum mass when it is at the left most part of the circle when the string makes an angle θ with the vertical as shown in the sketch. (a) Draw free body diagram of the pendulum at the point so that you can use second law of motion in radial direction. (Note: It should include proper axes and components of the tension force.) (b) Write second law of motion of the ball in the radial direction and vertical direction
