Q. A mass m = 5.0 kg is attached to the lower end of a massless string of length L = 72.0 cm. The upper end of the string is held fixed. Suppose that the mass moves in a circle at constant speed, and that the string makes an angle theta = 29° with the vertical. How long does it take the mass to make one complete revolution?
