Consider a conical pendulum with a bob of mass m = 81.0 kg on a string of length L = 10.0 m that makes an angle of θ = 6.00° with the vertical. (Consider +î to be towards the center of the circular path and +ĵ to be upward.) A conical pendulum is shown. The string is of length L and a bob of mass m is attached to the end. The string makes an angle θ with the vertical. A dashed circle is present to show the horizontal circular path of the bob.   (a) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the string on the pendulum.  N î +  N ĵ (b) Determine the radial acceleration of the bob.  m/s2
