1 A particle \(P\) of mass 0.3 kg is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length 0.6 m . The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point \(O\) of a smooth horizontal plane. \(P\) moves on the plane at constant speed \(5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) in a circle with centre \(O\). Calculate the tension in the string.
