Consider a circular-motion problem in which tension not only must provide the proper radial acceleration but also must balance gravity. As we shall see, it can do both. A tetherball is attached to a swivel in the ceiling by a light cord of length L, as measured from the ceiling to the center of the tetherball. When the ball is hit by a paddle, it swings in a horizontal circle with constant speed vv, and the cord makes a constant angle β with the vertical direction. The ball goes through one revolution in time T. Assuming that T, mass mm, and length L of the rope are known, derive algebraic expressions for the tension FT in the cord and the angle β. a)What is the period T of the ball’s motion if L=2.0m and the cord makes an angle of β=40∘with the vertical?
A satellite in orbit around the earth is at an altitude of 107 percent of the earth's radius. Rounding off our old friend "g" to ten meters per second squared, what is the acceleration due to earth's gravity at the satellite? Your answer should be in meters per second squared, but do not put the unit, just the number.

A jet pilot takes his aircraft in a vertical loop , if the jet is moving at a speed of 1140 km/m , at the lowest point of the loop , determine the minimum radius (r) of the circle , so that the centripetal acceleration at the lowest point doesn't exceed 6.4 g's and also calculate the 70 kg pilot's effective weight ( The force with which the seat pushes up on him ) at the bottom of the circle , and at the top of the circle ( assume the same speed ) FNbottom , FNtop ?
A person whirls a metal sphere attached to the end of a cord in a vertical circle. Assuming the speed of the sphere is constant (an approximation), when would the tension in the cord connected to the sphere be greatest? Explain your answer. (a) At the top of the circle. (b) A little after the bottom of the circle when the ball is climbing. (c) At the bottom of the circle. (d) A little before the bottom of the circle when the ball is descending quickly. (e) Nowhere; the cord is stretched the same amount at all points.
