given ,
the particle is rotating circle motion in plane perpendicular to principal axis at a distance of 15cm
means particle is at a constant height of 5cm 
in convex mirror:
\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}
f=+10  , u= -15
by using above formula v=6
height of object=5cm
height of image
\Rightarrow \tfrac{h(image)}{h(object)}= -\frac{v}{u}
by using above formula:
h(image)=2
this height of image is the radius of circular path of image=2
