Answer

$\sqrt {\frac{gL}{2\sqrt 3}}$

Work Step by Step

Let's apply equation $F=ma$ to the ball in vertical @ horizontal direction. $\uparrow F=ma$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $Tcos30^{\circ}-mg=m\times(0)$ $T\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}=mg=\gt T=2mg/\sqrt 3-(1)$ $\leftarrow F=ma$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $Tsin30^{\circ}=m\times\frac{V^{2}}{r}=\gt \frac{T}{2}=m\frac{V^{2}}{r}-(2)$ $(1)=\gt(2)$ $\frac{2mg}{\sqrt 3}\times\frac{1}{2}=m\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ $\frac{g}{\sqrt 3}=\frac{V^{2}}{Lsin30^{\circ}}=\gt\frac{g}{\sqrt 3}=\frac{2V^{2}}{L}$ $V=\sqrt {\frac{gL}{2\sqrt 3}}=$ Speed of the ball
