(b) A pendulum bob of mass 4 kg hangs freely under gravity at the end of a light inextensible string of length 5 m. The other end of the string is fixed 5 to a point 0. The bob is made to describe a horizontal circle of radius 3 m with uniform speed. i. Draw a diagram of all the forces acting and identify the centripetal force. [6 Marks) ii. Compute the angular velocity of the bob. (6 Marks)
