A conical pendulum is made of a metal sphere suspended at the end of a long, thin wire. The sphere swings in a horizontal circle of radius \( 1.31 \mathrm{~m} \) with a speed of \( 2.24 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \). (Note: it is called a "conical" pendulum, because the wire traces out a "cone" as the ball swings around.) Find the length of the wire. Enter your answer, in meters, in the box below.
