Homework Equations
a=w^2*r
The Attempt at a Solution
a=w^2*r
w^2*r*cos(theta)=-mg
theta=arcos(-mg/(Rw^2))
I'm pretty sure that's right, because the vertical component of the acceleration has to equal the vertical component due to gravity. However, I wasn't sure if acceleration was simply w^2*R or if I had to do something more complicated to find it. Is my reasoning/answer correct?
