List of knowns and unknowns
Knowns: Unknowns:

Angle - 49 degrees (measured using Angle in radians (Will find this with a
google sheets equation)
trigonometry)
Radius (Will find this with trigonometry)
Hypotenuse - 0.7 m (measuring with
a tape measure) Circumference (Will find this using the
formula - 2πr)
Period - 1.15 seconds (measured
with stopwatches, everyone measured Tangential Velocity (Will find this using
2πr/t)
this time and then we figured out
the average) Radial Velocity (Will find this using
V²/r)
Mass - 0.08103 kg (measured with a
scale) Radial Force (Will find this using F = Ma)
Equation Walk through sin(angle) = Opposite/Hypotenuse

sin(49)= r/0.7m

Step 1: Find radius 0.7sin(49)


V = 2(3.14)r/T
R = 0.528829706
2(3.14)(0.528829706)/1.15s

= 3.317703314
Step 2: Find Tangential velocity

Step 3: Find Radial acceleration V²/r


= 3.317703314²/0.52889706
= 20.81152669
Step 4: Find Radial force
F = Ma
F = (0.08103)(20.81152669)
Fr = 1.686358008 newtons
