The smooth block B, having mass M, is attached to the vertex A of the right circular cone using a light cord. The cone is rotating at a constant angular rate about the z axis such that the block attains speed v. At this speed, determine the tension in the cord and the reaction which the cone exerts on the block. Neglect the size of the block.
