A student spins a rubber stopper, tied to a string, over his head in a horizontal circle. The radius of the circle is, r, meters and the stopper has a mass of, m, grams. The stopper has period of, T, seconds, which results in a tension, 6.3 N. If the radius of the swing was changed by a factor of 2.4, what would be the resulting tension? Give your answer to 3 sig figs (1 decimal place in this case)
