A ring of mass 4 kg is threaded on a smooth circular rigid wire with centre \(C\). The wire is fixed in a vertical plane and the ring is kept at rest by a light string connected to \(A\), the highest point of the circle. The string makes an angle of \(25 ^ { \circ }\) to the vertical (see diagram).
Find the tension in the string and the magnitude of the normal reaction of the wire on the ring.
