Thank you for replying; didn't see I had to use that form.
As for forces there is the force of gravity on the pendulum mass (downwards), and the tension in the string.
As for the acceleration - I have no numerical value for it. The question needs no actual values - just variables to make the...
Homework Statement
For a conical pendulum:
Construct a free-body diagram for the pendulum and derive an expression for the acceleration in terms of the gravitational field strength g, the length L of the pendulum, the radius r of the circular path of the pendulum, and the frequency f of...
