Homework Help: Horizontal Circular Motion FBD Diagram Help

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Draw and FBD of a rubber stopper (mass) in circular horizontal motion. Be realistic here: Is the tension force on the stopper truly horizontal?

This question is from an experiment where a rubber stopper is tied to a string and swung horizontally. When the question says "Be realistic here," it means that the rubber stopper is being swung horizontally but at a slight angle (such as 10 degrees) below the horizontal.


2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution

I know that there's going to be a Fg downwards on the stopper, and a Force of tension going from the stopper to the centre of rotation, but I'm not sure about other forces such as Fc and which direction it would be going.

 

So Ftx and Fc are equivelant. That's good, I'm done that part then.
