I have already completed the problem, Thanks for the advice!

Can no one help?

I do get an Error when taking the inverse cosine of 4.905, I used another method and some how worked out 130 which is obviously wrong as you stated. How would you suggest I go about this problem. Taking into account that this pendulum is in a rotating crane with the values; w = 1.0 rad/s m1 =...

Yes, I have followed those steps and they are similar to my previous attempt. Using the final formula on the Wiki page; for my conical pendulum; t = (v x 60 x 2pi) / 60 t = 1 x 2pi t = 2 pi Therefore using the above formula: 2pi = 2pi sqrt(2cos(theta)/9.81) 9.81 = 2cos(theta)...

Homework Statement This setup of a conical pendulum is actually at the end of crane which is rotating, however I do not think that this should effect the situation: I need to calculate the radius so that I can then add this to the radius of the crane which will give my actual required...
