I started of by trying to find the work for I got stuck because I did not know how to solve for the Force. I solved for the distance by doing 3=d/5s which gave me 15m. but then I couldn't figure out where to go next in the problem because I don't know how to solve for (f) so an explanation would...
Yes okay thanks. I have two formulas for that. v=2pir/t and f=mv^2/r. If I used those equations how would I apply those to the problem because I was not given numbers to plug in.
Do what? I really do not understand where I am supposed to start. I have no understanding of this problem. This is what the hint was for this problem.
The net vertical force here is zero. The normal force is one of the vertical forces. Others are weight and part of the pulling force.
I wouldn't know. All I know is that the vertical net force is zero and the normal force is one of the vertical forces. I worked this out two ways. one with sin and the other with cos because those are the only equations that I have involving an angle.
