Answer:
3.6 N
Explanation:
The magnitude of centripetal force in this case is equal to the magnitude of tension in the spring.
The formula is :
T= mv²/r ------where T is tension
m= mass of object =0.8 kg
v= velocity of object {tangential velocity} = 3.0 m/s
r= length of string = 2m
Applying the formula with real values;
T= mv²/r
T= {0.8 * 3²} / 2
T= { 7.2}/2 = 3.6 N
