A uniform disc with centre \(O\), mass \(m\) and radius \(a\) is free to rotate without resistance in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis through \(O\). One end of a light inextensible string is attached to the rim of the disc and wrapped around the rim. The other end of the string is attached to a block of mass \(3 m\) (see diagram). The system is released from rest with the block hanging vertically. While the block is in motion, it experiences a constant vertical resisting force of magnitude 0.9 mg . Find the tension in the string in terms of \(m\) and \(g\).
