7 A particle of mass 2.5 kilograms is attached to one end of a light, inextensible string of length 75 cm . The other end of this string is attached to a point \(A\).
The particle is also attached to one end of an elastic string of natural length 30 cm and modulus of elasticity \(\lambda \mathrm { N }\). The other end of this string is attached to a point \(B\), which is 60 cm vertically below \(A\).
The particle is set in motion so that it describes a horizontal circle with centre \(B\). The angular speed of the particle is \(8 \mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } { } ^ { - 1 }\)
Find \(\lambda\), giving your answer in terms of \(g\).
