A bob is whirled in a horizontal plane by means of a string with an initial speed of $\omega $ rpm . The tension in the string is $T$. If speed becomes $2\omega $ while keeping the same radius, the tension in the string becomes: |
$T$ $4T$ $\frac{T}{4}$ $\sqrt{2}T$ |
$4T$ |
The correct answer is option (3) : 4T $F_{cp}=ma_{cp}$ $F_{cp}=m\omega^2r$ $T=m\omega^2r$ Now speed becomes $'2\omega'$ $T'=m(2\omega)^2r$ $T'=4m\omega^2r$ $T'= 4T$ |
