<p>Ok so I have been trying to solve this problem for hours, and it just doesn't make sense to me. </p>
<p>If anyone wants to help me, the part I am struggling with is PART A of question 942---> <a href="http://www.dsusd.k12.ca.us/users/edwardw/waluskas/1994BAPrv.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.dsusd.k12.ca.us/users/edwardw/waluskas/1994BAPrv.htm</a></p>
<p>Am I missing something? I tried setting force=centripetal force, and solving for v in variables...but can I actually do that?!?</p>
<p>ANY help would be muuuuuuch appreciated thanks! :)</p>
