Consider the ball when it is at the point P and the string makes an angle θ with vertical. Forces acting on the ball are:
T = tension in the string along its length, and
mg = weight of the particle vertically downward.
Hence, net radial force on the particle is FR = T - mg cos θ
=> T - mg cos θ = mv2/R
=> T = mv2/R + mg cos θ
So
