2. A ball on the end of a string is revolved at uniform rate in vertical circle of radius 72.0
cm. If its speed is 4.00 m/s and mass of 0.3 kg. Calculate the tension
in the string when ball is:
a) At top of its path
b) At bottom of its path

We write the equation of motion of the ball in a circle
N+mg=ma
Where
a=rv2
a) We write the equation of motion for the upper position
N+mg=rmv2
Then the tension in the string is
N=rmv2−mg=0.720.3⋅42−0.3⋅9.81=3.724N
b) We write the equation of motion for the lower position
