Just a final note:
The problem you've just solved is a rather rough approximation, since you haven't taken into account the actual rope length!
If you did do that, you should be able to figure out that the centripetal acceleration is
[tex]\frac{v^{2}}{R+L\sin\theta}[/tex]
where L is the rope length.
When L<<R, the approximation is very good..
