i guess,aap ke problem main thodi extra information di gayi hai........
in the sense that for vertical eqbm. we have Tsin@ = mg
by which we get @=30degs.....
but i donno why the velocity is given.....or do we have to calculate the velocity ....in that case we have Tcos@=mv2/R .....
solving for v at T=8N m=0.4Kg, and R=Lcos@
we have v=7.7m/s.........
