The tension in the rope at the lowest point of the object's movement is established as 3mg, where m represents the mass of the object and g is the acceleration due to gravity. This conclusion is derived using principles of dynamics and energy conservation. The velocity of the mass at the lowest point can be calculated using energy conservation equations, while the radial acceleration at this point is determined through the relationship between velocity and radius. The radial component of the force balance confirms that the net force acting on the mass is consistent with the calculated tension.
