Answer

$$ r=13.3 \mathrm{~mm} $$

Work Step by Step

When $\theta=4 \mathrm{rad}, r=10 \mathrm{~mm}$ $$ \begin{aligned} & T_s=0.015(4)=0.06 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\ & F=\frac{0.06}{0.012}=5 \mathrm{~N} \\ & T_f=5(0.010)=0.05 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \text { (constant) } \end{aligned} $$ When $\theta=3 \mathrm{rad}$, $$ \begin{aligned} & T_s=0.015(3)=0.045 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\ & F=\frac{0.045}{0.012}=3.75 \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned} $$ For the fusee require $$ 0.05=3.75 r $$ $$ r=0.0133 \mathrm{~m}=13.3 \mathrm{~mm} $$
