$A$ stone of mass $m$ tied to the end of a string revolves in a vertical circle of radius $R$. The net forces at the lowest and highest points of the circle directed vertically downwards are:
Lowest PointHighest Point
$(a) \ mg - T_1$$mg + T_2$
$(b) \ mg + T_1$$mg - T_2$
$(c) \ mg + T_1 - \frac{mv_1^2}{R}$$mg - T_2 + \frac{mv_2^2}{R}$
$(d) \ mg - T_1 - \frac{mv_1^2}{R}$$mg + T_2 + \frac{mv_2^2}{R}$

$T_1$ and $v_1$ denote the tension and speed at the lowest point. $T_2$ and $v_2$ denote corresponding values at the highest point.

$A$ body of mass $m$ hangs at one end of a string of length $l$,the other end of which is fixed. It is given a horizontal velocity such that the string just reaches a position where it makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The tension in the string at the mean position is:
