A rock is tied to a string and spun in a circle of radius 1.4 m as shown in the figure below. The speed of the rock is 13 m/s.
(c) What is the total force on the rock directed toward the center of its circular path? Express your answer in terms of the (unknown) tension T in the string. (Use the following as necessary: ?.) F = (d) Apply Newton's second law along both the vertical and the horizontal direction and find the angle ? the string makes with the horizontal. (Assume a coordinate system in which the positive x direction is horizontally to the right and positive y direction is vertically up.) ? = ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
