Find Angle Theta for Mass Revolving in Horizontal Circle

[QUOTE="CAF123, post: 4541802, member: 419343"] It is dimensionally inconsistent, so just by looking at it, it must be incorrect. There is a component of tension in the vertical direction. What is this in terms of θ? What other force acts in the vertical direction? Write Newtons second law for this direction. There is also a component of tension in the horizontal direction. What is this in terms of θ? This force component is providing the centripetal force required for the mass to revolve. So you may equate this to the general expression for a centripetal force. This will give you two equations. What you said was correct in #3, now you have to translate those ideas into equations. [/QUOTE]
