Homework Statement
A ball of mass 4 kg on a string of length 1.5 m is being swung in a circle in the vertical plane at a constant speed of 10 m/s. Find the tension in the string at the bottom and top of the balls path
Homework Equations
ƩF = m(v^2/r)
The Attempt at a Solution
This is how I attempted to solve this problem, but my answer is not correct.
Is it correct that the tension in the string at the bottom is: T = m(v^2/r) + mg
And at the top: T = m(v^2/r) - mg
