(a) $T = m{\omega ^2}r$ $⇒$ $\omega \propto \sqrt T $

$\therefore \frac{{{\omega _2}}}{{{\omega _1}}} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{4}} $ $\Rightarrow {\omega _2} = \frac{{{\omega _1}}}{2} = 5\,rpm$

    A block of mass $m$ (initially at rest) is sliding up (in vertical direction) against a rough vertical wall with the help of a force $F$ whose magnitude is constant but direction is changing. $\theta  = {\theta _0}t$  where $t$ is time in sec. At $t$ = $0$ , the force is in vertical upward direction and then as time passes its direction is getting along normal, i.e., $\theta  = \frac{\pi }{2}$ .The value of $F$ so that the block comes to rest when $\theta  = \frac{\pi }{2}$ , is
