Question

A rock of mass m=0.71 kg is attached to a massless string of length L= 0.52 m. The rock is swung in a vertical circle faster and faster up to a speed of v= 4.6 m/s, at which time the string breaks. 

Part A- What is the magnitude of the tension, in newtons, at which the string breaks ? 

Part B- How high, in meters, does the rock travel ? Use a value of h=0 at the location of the break.
