A0.50-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle (radius 2.0 m). when the mass is at the highest point on the circle, the speed of the mass is 12 m/s. what is the magnitude of the force of the string on the mass at this position?

31.1 N

Explanation:

m = mass attached to string = 0.50 kg

r = radius of the vertical circle = 2.0 m

v = speed of the mass at the highest point = 12 m/s

T = force of the string on the mass attached.

At the highest point, force equation is given as

Inserting the values

T = 31.1 N
