A mass m of 1.0 kg is attached by a massless string of length l of 2 m and resting on a cone.  The angle θ is 40°. The mass moves around in a horizontal circle at a speed of 2.0 m/s.  Use g = 10 N/kg. Assume that the cone does not exert a friction force.   a) Determine the tension in the string. b) Determine the magnitude of the normal force acting on the mass.  (Negative values are possible solutions to this problem even though you can not have a negative normal force physically.  Just enter the negative value.)
