One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.400-kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 1.00 m, as shown in the figure below. When

θ = 18.0°,

the speed of the object is 7.50 m/s.

An object is swinging to the right and upward from the end of a cord attached to a horizontal surface. The cord makes an angle θ with the vertical. An arrow labeled vector v points in the direction of motion.

(a) At this instant, find the magnitude of the tension in the string.
N

(b) At this instant, find the tangential and radial components of acceleration.

a_t =	m/s² inward
a_c =	m/s² downward tangent to the circle

(c) At this instant, find the total acceleration.
inward and below the cord at °

(d) Is your answer changed if the object is swinging down toward its lowest point instead of swinging up?

Yes/No

(e) Explain your answer to part (d).
