A ball of mass m = 2.0 kg is connected to 2 ropes. The two ropes are connected to a pole that is rotating at a constant angular speed ω. The two ropes have an equal tension T. The rope on the bottom makes an angle of 60◦ with the pole and and the rope on the top makes an angle of 60◦ with the horizontal. The ball is going around in a circle at a constant speed v and a radius r = 0.87 m (uniform circular motion).
Problem 1: What is v, the speed of the ball?
Problem 2: What is T, the tension on each of the ropes?

Comedians like to joke that the reason we haven’t been visited by intelligent life from elsewhere in the universe is that aliens have been monitoring earth’s broadcasts of intellectually embarrassing tv programs, like gilligan’s island, fear factor, the jersey shore, and the jerry springer showand so consider us far too primitive to merit a visit. let’s check the assertion that aliens could have been receiving them. tv programs are broadcast at a frequency of about 100mhz with about 100kw of total power in 30frames per second, which emanatesroughly uniformly in all directions. assume that interstellar space transmits these broadcasts without attenuation. no matter how smart they are, aliens would require at least one photon per frame to interpret our signals. findthe number of photons per unit time per unit area reaching a receiver on a possible planet in the nearest star system, which is about 4 light-years away (a light-year is the distance light travels in a year). if aliens aimed a receiver or detector directly at earth, how big (in diameter) would it have to be to receive a photon per frame
