A ball attached to a pole by a rope swings around in a circular path for 4.5 m. If the distance from the pole to the ball at the end of the rope is 3.5 m, what is the angular displacement of the ball?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Use the equation for angular displacement (Θ) to solve this equation.
Θ = S/r
Where:
S = 4.5 m
r = 3.5 m
Solve for the angular displacement:
Θ = 4.5 m / 3.5 m
Θ = 1.3
