Asmall ball of mass 62 g is suspended from a string of length 72 cm and whirled in a circle lying in the horizontal plane. r v 9.8 m/s 2 72 cm 62 g 32◦ if the string makes an angle of 32◦ with the vertical, find the centripetal force experienced by the ball. the acceleration of gravity is

Centripetal force,

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 62 g = 0.062 kg

Length of the string, l = 72 cm = 0.72 m

Angle,

To find,

The centripetal force experienced by the ball.

Solution,

According to the attached free body diagram,

T = 0.716 N

The centripetal force will be experienced by the ball in horizontal direction. It is equal to :

So, the centripetal force experienced by the ball is 0.379 N.
