Here are the calculations for the angles, with reasons:

4.1 Calculate ∠TOM\angle TOM

Step 1: Identify the angle between the radius and the tangent.
The radius OMOM is perpendicular to the tangent MPMP at the point of tangency MM.

∠OMP=90∘(Radius⊥Tangent)\angle OMP = 90^\circ \quad (\text{Radius} \perp \text{Tangent})

Step 2: Use the given angle ∠PMT\angle PMT to find ∠OMT\angle OMT.
We are given ∠PMT=40∘\angle PMT = 40^\circ.

∠OMT=∠OMP−∠PMT\angle OMT = \angle OMP - \angle PMT ∠OMT=90∘−40∘\angle OMT = 90^\circ - 40^\circ ∠OMT=50∘\angle OMT = 50^\circ

Step 3: Identify △OMT\triangle OMT as an isosceles triangle.
OTOT and OMOM are radii of the same circle.

OT=OM(Radii)OT = OM \quad (\text{Radii})

Therefore, △OMT\triangle OMT is an isosceles triangle.

Step 4: Find ∠OTM\angle OTM.
In isosceles △OMT\triangle OMT, the base angles are equal.

∠OTM=∠OMT=50∘(Base angles of isosceles triangle)\angle OTM = \angle OMT = 50^\circ \quad (\text{Base angles of isosceles triangle})

Step 5: Calculate ∠TOM\angle TOM.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180∘180^\circ.

∠TOM+∠OTM+∠OMT=180∘(Sum of angles in a triangle)\angle TOM + \angle OTM + \angle OMT = 180^\circ \quad (\text{Sum of angles in a triangle}) ∠TOM+50∘+50∘=180∘\angle TOM + 50^\circ + 50^\circ = 180^\circ ∠TOM+100∘=180∘\angle TOM + 100^\circ = 180^\circ ∠TOM=180∘−100∘\angle TOM = 180^\circ - 100^\circ ∠TOM=80∘\angle TOM = \boxed{80^\circ}

4.2 Calculate ∠N\angle N

Step 1: Apply the Angle at Center Theorem.
The angle subtended by arc MTMT at the center is ∠TOM\angle TOM.
The angle subtended by arc MTMT at the circumference is ∠N\angle N.
