One end of a massless spring of constant and natural length 0.5 m is fixed and the other end is connected to a particle of mass 0.5 kg lying on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring remains horizontal. If the mass is made to rotate at angular velocity of , then elongation of spring is
Options
- A0.1 m
- B10 cm
- C1 cm
- D0.01 cm
Correct answer
C. 1 cm
Step-by-step solution
For the circular motion acceleration towards the centre is . The horizontal force on the particle is due to the spring and , where is the elongation and is spring constant of spring.
Putting the values
