    Deriving a Uniform Circular Motion Equation

    The teacher just said to derive the equation using Circular Motion Equations,Newton's 2nd Law, etc. The equation is: m(V^2/r)cos(θ)=mgsin(θ)

    Deriving a Uniform Circular Motion Equation

    Derive the following equation: (mV^2/r)cos(x) = mgsin(x) I don't know how you would exactly derive the equation but you can simplify it to: tan(x)mg = mV^2 /r You can also divide by the m and get tan(x)g = V^2/r ... Any help is appreciated.
