A chain of mass m forming a circle of radius R is slipped on a smooth round cone with half angle theta. Find the tension of the chain if it rotates with constant angular velocity qmega about a vertical axis coinciding with the symmetry axisof the cone.please explain with the help of a diagram

Dear student,

A hanging flexible chain suspended from its ends is subject to tension. The tension depends on the horizontal and vertical distances between its ends and on the length of the chain. Use the slider to move the point M to see how this tension varies along the chain.
Note that the tension is calculated for a linear weight of the chain of 1 N/m (the tension varies linearly with this linear weight). The color of the chain gives the following qualitative information: green corresponds to the minimum and magenta to the maximum of the tension.
