A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a \(500 \mathrm{~g}\) ball to a \(1.0-\mathrm{m}\)-long string, then allowing the mass to move in a horizontal circle of radius \(20 \mathrm{~cm}\). Figure P 6.57 shows that the string traces out the surface of a cone, hence the name.

a. What is the tension in the string?

b. What is the ball's speed?

c. What is the period of the ball's orbit?
