A stone of mass 0.20 kg is attached to an extremely light thread, whose mass can be considered negligible, and swung around a fixed vertical axis Y so that the stone undergoes circular motion in a horizontal plane. The length of thread from the stone to the axis of rotation Y is L = 2.6 m and the thread makes an angle of θ = 73.0 ° to the vertical.
What is the tension in the thread?
What is the magnitude of the centripetal force on the stone?
