The body of mass m is revolving in a horizontal circle.
Let the radius of its circular path be r.
r will be perpendicular to the string attached to M.
Now,
Sinθ= r/l ....eq(1)
Since M is fixed its weight will be equal to the tension,T in the string
Therefore, T=Mg.....eq(2)
Also,
Centripetal force= TSinθ
=> mω²r= Mg*r/l [here ω is angular velocity of m]
=> ω² = Mg/ml
=> ω =√(Mg/ml)
Time taken by m to complete one revolution,T= 2π/ω
=> T= 2π*√(ml/Mg)
