In deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a taut cable. The cable is 1 meter long (from the astronaut's fist to the tool), and the tool makes a full trip around the circle in half a second as it moves with constant speed. The mass of the tool is 10 kg. What is the tension in the cable?
