[challenge question] A 2-kg ball is attached to a length of 44.5-N max tension fishing line. If the ball is released when the line is horizontal (θ = 90°), at what angle θ from the vertical will the line break?
A. 74.3°
B. 53.8°
C. 40.8°
D. 19.4° Answer

Two masses are connected as in the figure, and the 5 kg mass is released from rest. What is the speed of
m2 just as m1 hits the ground?
A. 4.70 m/s
B. 5.12 m/s
C. 4.43 m/s
D. 6.24 m/s
The tension at the top is reduced by the weight, Ttop = mv²/R − mg. The tension at the bottom is increased by the weight, Tbottom = mv²/R + mg. Hence Tbottom − Ttop = 2mg
