Detailed explanation
A simple pendulum has a length of \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) and a bob of mass of \(100\mathrm{~grams}\). It is whirled in a horizontal plane. If the string breaks under a tension of \(10 \mathrm{~N}\), the angle made by the string with vertical is \(\cos ^{-1}(0.1)\).
\(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)

\(\mathrm{L}=2 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(\mathrm{~m}=\frac{100}{1000}=0.1 \mathrm{~kg}\)
\(\operatorname{Tcos} \Phi=m g\)
\(\operatorname{Tsin} \Phi=\frac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(\cos \Phi=\frac{m g}{T}=\frac{0.1 \times 10}{10}=0.1\)
\(\therefore \Phi=\cos ^{-1}(0.1)\)
\(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)

\(\mathrm{L}=2 \mathrm{~m}\)
\(\mathrm{~m}=\frac{100}{1000}=0.1 \mathrm{~kg}\)
\(\operatorname{Tcos} \Phi=m g\)
\(\operatorname{Tsin} \Phi=\frac{m v^{2}}{R}\)
\(\cos \Phi=\frac{m g}{T}=\frac{0.1 \times 10}{10}=0.1\)
\(\therefore \Phi=\cos ^{-1}(0.1)\)
