a) The speed, v
Tmin= mv2/r –mg
3=0.4(v2/1 -10)
V2=(3+4)/0.4 =70/4
V=(70/4)1/2=4.183m/s
b) Maximum tension in the string
Tmax=m(v2/r +g) =0.4(70/4 +10)
= 11N
c) The tension when the string is just horizontal
T=mv2/r = 0.4*70/4 =7N

An aluminium tray of mass 400g containing 300g of water is placed in a refrigerator. After 80 minutes, the
tray is removed and it is found that 60g of water remains unfrozen at 0^oC. If the initial temperature of the tray and its contents was 20^oC, determine the average amount of heat removed per minute by the refrigerator. Take s.h.c of aluminium = 900JKg-1K-1, s.h.c of water = 4200JKg-1K-1, s.l.h. of fusion of ice = 3.4*25JKg
