Your car is driving around a curve at 15 m/s. Your fuzzy dice on the rear view mirror are hanging at a 20° from vertical.
i. What is the tension in the string if the fuzzy dice weigh 2N?
ii. What is the radius of the curve?
iii. Which direction will the dice hang if the curve goes right?
The vertical component of tension balances the weight and the
horizontal component provides centripetal force. We use this to
find the required tension and radius as shown below
