The formula for calculating the tension in a rope moving in a circle is expressed as

Tension = mv^2/r

where

m = mass of rope

v = speed of rope

r represents the radius of the circle

From the information given,

m = 1.5

r = 0.4

v = 5

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

Tension = 1.5 x 5^2/0.4 = 93.75

Tension in rope = 93.75
