  1. Show that the tension in the string is 4.16 N , correct to 3 significant figures.
  2. Calculate \(\omega\).

    \end{figure} The lower part of the string is now attached to a point \(R\), vertically below \(P\). \(P B\) makes an angle \(30 ^ { \circ }\) with the vertical and \(R B\) makes an angle \(60 ^ { \circ }\) with the vertical. The bead \(B\) now moves in a horizontal circle of radius 1.5 m with constant speed \(v _ { \mathrm { m } } \mathrm { m } ^ { - 1 }\) (see Fig. 2).
  3. Calculate the tension in the string.
  4. Calculate \(v\).
