Given that
The mass of the ball(m)=500g
=500103 kg
The radius of the string is(r)=1.5m
The tension in the string is(T)=15N
The acceleration due to gravity is (g)=9.8 ms2
The tension in the string when the body is at the bottom is given by
T=mv2r+mg
now substitute all the values in the above you get the required answer.
