when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as
T=mv²/r
where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple
v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.
clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.
at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
supply it with more energy. one way to do is to produce vibrations in the same frequency as the wave. This would cause resonance leading to higher amplitude
