Question

A baseball of mass m = 0.41 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.52 m. The string can only support a tension of Tmax = 10.8 N before it will break.

Randomized Variables

m = 0.41 kg
L = 0.52 m
Tmax = 10.8 N

a)What is the maximum possible speed of the ball at the top of the loop, in meters per second? 

b)What is the maximum possible speed of the ball at the bottom of the loop, in meters per second?
