A ring is threaded on a fixed horizontal bar. The ring is attached to one end of a light inextensible string which is used to pull the ring along the bar at a constant speed of \(0.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The string makes a constant angle of \(24 ^ { \circ }\) with the bar and the tension in the string is 6 N (see diagram). Find the work done by the tension in a period of 8 s .
