Answer:
The tension in the string at that point is 90.75 N
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the object, m = 3 kg
length of string, r = 0.25 m
the angular velocity, ω = 11 rad/s
The tension on string can be equated to the centrifugal force on the object;
T = mω²r
Where;
T is the tension in the string
m is mass of the object
ω is the angular velocity
r is the radius of the circular path
T = 3 x (11)² x 0.25
T = 90.75 N
Therefore, the tension in the string at that point is 90.75 N
