One end of a string of length (l ) as connected to a particle of mass (m ) and the other to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in a circle with speed (v ) and (T ) is the tension in the string, then net force on the particle (directed towards the centre) is
Options
- A(T )
- B0
- C( T+m v^2 1 )
- D( T-m v^2 I )
Correct answer
A. (T )
Step-by-step solution
The given situation is shown in the following figure Here, (N=m g and T= m v^2 l ) Tension in the string provides necessary centripetal force. Hence, net force on the particle towards centre of circular path is equal to (T ).
