Question:

A particle of mass m is attached to a string and is moving in a vertical circle. Tension in the string when the particle is at highest and lowest point is $T_1$ and $T_2$ respectively.Here $T_1 - T_2$ is equal to

Options:

3 mg

4 mg

5 mg

6 mg

Correct Answer:

4 mg

Explanation:

Tension at the highest point is $T_1$ = 5mg

Tension at the lowest point is $T_2$ = mg

Then $T_1 - T_2$ = 4 mg
