This webpage contains an applet on circular motion. The
simulation portrays a ball on a string swinging in a circle. The
radius of the circle can be changed, and conservation of angular
momentum can be observed. This applet is by Fu-Kwun Hwang.

to see Irish Waterskier Rodney Watson featured on the Home Page
today. Here is an interesting aspect which may be of interest.
The Ski Boat passes through the Slalom Course at 36mph / 58kph.
The Ski Rope is shortened as the Skier completes each successful
pass around six buoys. The distance from the Boat to each bouy
is 11.5m When the Ski Rope has been shortened to 14.25m, the
Skier picks up a load of 800lbs each time he passes around the
six buoys ! Top ranked Slalom Skiers are exceptional athletes.
