Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Tension provides centripetal force in the circular motion . In circular motion work done by force = torque x angle

torque is zero as , centripetal force passes through axis of rotation that is center.

So work done by centripetal force = 0

So work done by tension on M = 0
