The tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom of the path is 2.61 Newtons.
A tension is simply referred to as a force along the length of a flexible medium such as strings, cable, ropes etc.
Tension in a string revolving can be determined using the expression;
T = mv² / r
Where m is mass of object, v is velocity and r is radius ( length of string )
Given the data in the question;
To determine tension in the string, we substitute our given values into the expression above.
T = mv² / r
T = (0.182kg × (3.74m/s)²) / 0.977m
T = (0.182kg × 13.9876m²/s²) / 0.977m
T = (2.5457432kgm²/s²) / 0.977m
T = 2.61kgm/s²
T = 2.61N
Therefore, the tension in the string when the ball is at the bottom of the path is 2.61 Newtons.
