A 90-g bead is attached to the end of a 60-cm length of massless string. The other end of the string is held at point O, which i
s 200 cm above the floor, and the bead is swung counterclockwise at a constant speed in a vertical circle. The tension in the string when the bead is at the very bottom of the circle is 2.2 N. While the bead is in motion, a very sharp knife is inserted to cut the string directly below point O. How far to the right of the center of the circle does the bead hit the floor?

Answer:
26.56°
Explanation:
given,
horizontal distance travel by the ant = 2 m
vertical distance travel by the ant = 1 m
angle of the ant above the initial point = ?
using trigonometric function
θ is the angle of the ant form initial position
h is the height on the wall
x is the horizontal distance covered by the ant
hence, the angle made by the ant from the initial position is equal to 26.56°
