A tennis ball connected to a string is spun counterclockwise around in a vertical, circular path at a uniform speed. The ball has a mass m = 0.2 kg and moves at speed v = 2.4 m/s. The circular path has a radius of R = 0.29 m. The ball is at the bottom of the circle as shown. What is the magnitude of the tension force on the ball at this instant, in Newtons? Use g = 10 m/s2.
