A point mass $m$ is suspended from a light thread of length $l$, fixed at $O$, is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed as shown. From your point of view, stationary with respect to the mass, the forces on the mass are
A point mass $m$ is suspended from a light thread of length $l$, fixed at $O$, is whirled in a horizontal circle at constant speed as shown. From your point of view, stationary with respect to the mass, the forces on the mass are
$T =$ tension, $W =$ weight and $F =$ centrifugal force.
