onsider an ideal conical pendulum which is made from a simple string, xed at a point, where the

pendulum swings around. As the rotation rate of the conical pendulum increases, the tension in

the string increases.

a$.$ What is the tension in the string when the conical pendulum isn$$t spinning?

b$.$ Write down an equation for the tension in the string of your conical pendulum as a function of

rotational velocity.

c$.$ What is the rotation rate of the conical pendulum when the hanging mass experiences

$$s of acceleration?
