$A$ string of length $L$ is fixed at one end and carries a mass $M$ at the other end. The string makes $\frac{\pi}{2}$ revolutions per second around the vertical axis through the fixed end as shown in the figure. The tension in the string is:

$A$ small $100 \ g$ sleeve $B$ can slide on a smooth,circular and rigid wire frame $A$ of radius $5 \ m$ placed in a vertical plane. The wire frame is rotating about its vertical diameter at $2 \ rad/s$. When the sleeve is brought to a particular angular position $\theta$ (measured from the vertical downward axis) other than the bottom and the top of the ring,the sleeve will not slide on the wire frame. Calculate the normal force $N$ (in Newtons) of interaction between the sleeve and the wire frame at this position.
