The tension in the string balances out, and thus equals the centripetal force of the ball
T = mv^2/r <span> if it only takes half the time to finish one orbit it has to be moving at twice the original speed. </span> <span> And since v is squared T will increase by 4 </span> <span> T' = m(2v)^2/r </span> <span> T' = 4mv^/r = 4T </span> <span> T' = 24.0 N
I hope my answer has come to your help. Have a nice day ahead and may God bless you always! </span>
