Answer:
T= 19.74 N
Explanation:
The tension in the string will be equal to centripetal force on the ball. (Newton's 3rd law, equal acting and reacting forces acts on a body)
T = Fc
Fc = m w ²r
here:
m = 0.25 kg, r = 0.5 m
w = 2 rps = 2 * 2π rad/s ( ∴ 1 revolution = 2π radians )
w = 4π rad/s
Fc = m w ²r = 0.25 * ( 4π )² * 0.5 N
Fc = T = 19.74 N
T= 19.74 N
