An old building is being demolished by swinging a heavy metal ball from a crane. Suppose that such a 115kg ball swings from a 20
-m-long wire at speed 12m/s as the wire passes the vertical orientation.
a) What tension force must the wire be able to withstand in order not to break?
b)Assume the ball stops after sinking 1.5 m into the wall. What was the average force that the ball exerted on the wall?

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:
The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:
and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:
First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:
And by Omh's law V=IR we have:
And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.
