Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: In a museum exhibit of a simple pendulum, a very small but dense 6.0-kg ball swings from a very light 2.5-m wire. The ball is released from rest when the pendulum wire makes a 65° angle with the vertical, and it swings in a circular arc with no appreciable friction or air resistance. What is the tension in the wire just as the ball swings through its lowest position?
A. 11 N B. 59 N C. 68 N D. 130 N E. 0 N
