I looked at when Θ = 0° and determined that N = 3mg so in that case would it be N + 3mgcosΘ = Fc?

Here's my first attempt at a solution: First, I calculated the speed of one ring at the point where the tension would be zero. 3mgr(1-cosΘ ) = (1/2) * (3m) * (v^2). 3m * v^2 = 6mgr(1-cosΘ) Next, since I wanted the centripetal force, I took the result I got and divided by the radius. Fc =...
