Chapter 5, Problem 5.115CP
A ball is held at rest at position A in Fig. P5.115 by two light strings. The horizontal string is cut, and the ball starts swinging as a pendulum. Position B is the farthest to the right that the ball can go as it swings back and forth. What is the ratio of the tension in the supporting string at B to its value at A before the string was cut?
