Question

Consider a ball rolling around in a circular
path on the inner surface of a cone. The
weight of the ball is shown by the vector W.
Without friction, only one other force acts on
the ball – a normal force.

Draw the normal vector; what relationship
do the vectors have?

A. The normal force is greater than the
weight and less than the centripetal force.
B. The normal force is greater than the
weight and greater than the centripetal
force.
C. The normal force is less than the weight
and greater than the centripetal force.
D. The normal force is less than the weight
and less than the centripetal force
