anonymous · Answer

well let's look at each case individually. Can you draw a force diagram for Case A?

anonymous · Answer

Would it just be Force gravity going down, and then Force tension going up?

anonymous · Answer

yes exactly! After all the force of gravity can't point upwards right? and the string is clearly attached to the top of the ball

anonymous · Answer

so please draw the diagram for me.
