Question
FIRST SITUATION:
"An object of mass 'M' is suspended as shown in the figure below. A smaller mass 'm' is hanging over an ideal pulley such that it stretched the spring and when the object is in equilibrium the hanging string is perfectly vertical"

SECOND SITUATION:
"An object of mass 'M' is suspended as shown. The entire system rotates around a vertical axis with constant speed such that when the spring is stretched the string is perfectly vertical"

Part 1: Find the elastic force in the spring in case A as a function of the mass m
Part 2: Find the elastic force in the spring in case B, considering that the distance from object M to the axis of rotation is R and the system rotates with a constant speed v.
Also, I'm having trouble picturing this, if someone could draw the free body diagrams I would appreciate it! I'll give 1500 points if you add this step.
"An object of mass 'M' is suspended as shown in the figure below. A smaller mass 'm' is hanging over an ideal pulley such that it stretched the spring and when the object is in equilibrium the hanging string is perfectly vertical"Explanation / Answer
This problem will partain to Hooke's Law. The equation in that law will help you with this answer.
F=-kx or Force= (-spring constant) x (distance stretched)
This equation will allow you to find the force of the spring as a function of mas
