A conical pendulum is formed by a mass of 100 g (0.1 kg) moving in a circle as shown. The string makes an angle of 30o.
1. Draw the free body force diagram.
2 Calculate the weight of the mass.
3 State the vertical component.
4 Calculate the horizontal component.
5 Calculate the tension in the string.
6 Draw and label the force vector diagram.
Success criteria:You are able to accurately draw free body force diagrams;you are able to calculate values for free body force diagrams; andyou can correctly label free body force diagrams
Take g = 9.8 m s-2

Horizontal Circular Motion - Conical pendulum
A group of year 13 students were investigating the conical pendulum.
They wondered how fast you had spin the rubber bung so that it spun horizontal.
The group then thought that it might not be possible to get the bung to swing absolutely horizontal and perhaps they could prove that mathematically.
One student put 90o in his calculator and came up with error.

Vertical comp. = 0.98 N
It is impractical to draw accurate force vector diagrams using this scale for the other three sets of data without a very large sheet of paper.
