Question

Define a conical pendulum.

✓

Answer

A conical pendulum is a small bob suspended from a string and set in UCM in a horizontal plane with the centre of its circular path below the point of suspension such that the string makes a constant angle $\theta$ with the vertical.
OR
A conical pendulum is a simple pendulum whose bob revolves in a horizontal circle with constant speed such that the string describes the surface of an imaginary right circular cone.
