Detailed Solution
from equation of motion, v2 = v02+2gl cos θ for vertical circular motion tension in string is T= mg cos θ+ mv2l m is mass attached to string, g is acceleration due to gravity, θ is angle made by string with vertical, v is velocity of mass, l is length of string Given string can withstand tension T = 2mg , substitute in above equation 2mg = mg cos θ+ml(v02+2gl cosθ) on simplification ⇒ cos θ =14 angle made by the string with vertical θ=cos-1(14)
