2 A particle of mass 0.4 kg is attached to a fixed point \(O\) by a light inextensible string of length 0.5 m . The particle is projected horizontally with speed \(6 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) from the point 0.5 m vertically below \(O\). The particle moves in a complete circle. Find the tension in the string when
  1. the string is horizontal,
  2. the particle is vertically above \(O\).
