Well, ignoring gravity (gravity makes the ball swing downward, the rope makes an angle, which changes the radius of rotation), then tension= massball*v^2/r=m(2PIr/T)^2 /r do the algebra, and solve for Period T.

Compared with the strength of Earth's gravity at its surface, how much weaker is gravity at a distance of 13 Earth radii from Earth's center?

a. Since W=mass x acceleration , when accelerating upward the acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration of the elevator add up. So, a=(9.8+1.7)=11.5m/s^2, so weight = 97kg x 11.5 m/s^2. b. at constant speed their is no acceleration except for earths gravity which means ...
