The vertical component of the force
of the floor on the object (FB,F ) is
often called the Normal Force (N).
Since aY = 0 , N = mg in this case.
N = mg

If a rope has mass, the tension can vary along the rope
For example, a heavy rope
hanging from the ceiling...

Problem: Motion in a Circle
Tetherball
A boy ties a rock of mass m to the end of a string and twirls
it in the vertical plane. The distance from his hand to the
rock is R. The speed of the rock at the top of its trajectory is
v.
What is the tension T in the string at the top of the rocks
trajectory?
