A string of length `l` is fixed at one end and carries a mass 'm' at the other end. The mass is revolving along a horizontal circle of radius 'r' making 'θ' as the semi-vertical angle of cone and `(1/pi)` revolutions per second around the vertical axis through fixed end. The tension in the string is ______.
A particle is given an initial speed u inside a smooth spherical shell of radius R = 1 m that it is just able to complete the circle. Acceleration of the particle when its velocity is vertical is ______.

In uniform circular motion, although the speed is constant, why does acceleration occur?
