Answer:
T = 6.3 N
Explanation:
ω = 2πf = 2π(4.0) = 8π rad/s
T = mω²R = 0.02(8π)²(0.50) = 6.31654…
If the ball is supported only by the string, there is also a vertical force of
0.02(9.8) = 0.196 N, but it is so small compared to the horizontal force that vectoral addition will not change the result.
T = √(6.31654² + 0.196²) = 6.31958
