Answer

(a) $19^{\circ}$ (b) $0.78N$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required angle as follows: $tan\theta=\frac{v^2}{r}$ $\implies \theta=tan^{-1}\frac{v^2}{gr}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{(1.21)^2}{(9.8)(0.44)})$ $\theta=tan^{-1}(0.338)=19^{\circ}$ (b) We can find the required tension as $T=\frac{mg}{cos\theta}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T=\frac{(0.075)(9.81)}{cos(19^{\circ})}$ $T=0.78N$
