  b. in addition to the centripetal force shown in the figure, there must also be a force tangent to the motion of the ball.
  c. in addition to the centripetal force shown in the figure, there must also be a centrifugal force that pulls the ball outward.
  d. in addition to the centripetal force shown in the figure, there must also be a force radially inward from the string to cause circular motion.
