The drawing shows a 18.0-kg ball being whirled in a circular path on the end of a string. The motion occurs on a frictionless, horizontal table. The angular speed of the ball is w = 17.1 rad/s. The string has a mass of 0.0190 kg. How much time does it take for a wave on the string to travel from the center of the circle to the ball?
