    What are the forces involved in circular motion on a rotating pole?

    Homework Statement 17. A 100 g bead is free to slide along an 80 cm long piece of string ABC. The ends of the string are attached to a vertical pole at A and C, which are 40 cm apart. When the pole is rotated about its axis, AB becomes horizontal. a. Find the tension in the string. b...
