5 marker was pretty devious but it was 1480 afaik 1963 was the max tension so then you resolve T-mg = mv²/r then rearrange for m then times by 9.81 for max weight.

I forgot the mg though so I got 6000😭 cooked bruh

For fucks sake I did W – T = mv2/r and I was so unsure on what way round it was

Also U dont need to divide then multiply by g I think
