Explanation:
Answer:
a
The radial acceleration is
b
The horizontal Tension is
The vertical Tension is
Explanation:
The diagram illustrating this is shown on the first uploaded
From the question we are told that
The length of the string is
The mass of the bob is
The angle made by the string is
The centripetal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as
Now From the diagram we see that this force is equivalent to
where T is the tension on the rope and v is the linear velocity
So
Now the downward normal force acting on the bob is mathematically represented as
So
=>
=>
The centripetal acceleration which the same as the radial acceleration of the bob is mathematically represented as
=>
substituting values
The horizontal component is mathematically represented as
substituting value
The vertical component of tension is
substituting value
The vector representation of the T in term is of the tension on the horizontal and the tension on the vertical is
substituting value
