A 2.05 kg ball is attached to the bottom end of a length of fishline with a breaking strength of 10 lb (44.5 N). The top end of the fishing line is held stationary. The ball is released from rest with the line taut and horizontal ( = 90.0°). At what angle (measured from the vertical) will the fishline break?

How do you figure this out without knowing the length of the pendulum string?

Consider the force components along the line of the string.

Then also use energy conservation.
