Problem

A 4 kg4\,\text{kg} sphere is attached to a vertical rotating shaft by a light string of length 2 m2\,\text{m}. The string can withstand a maximum tension of 80 N80\,\text{N}. Calculate the maximum angular velocity of the shaft for which the string remains intact and the sphere moves in a stable horizontal circle. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2})
