A body of mass ' m ' attached at the end of a string is just completing the loop in a vertical circle. The apparent weight of the body at the lowest point in its path is ( g = gravitational acceleration)

Options

  1. Azero
  2. Bmg
  3. C3 mg
  4. D6 mg

Correct answer

D. 6 mg

Step-by-step solution

The tension at the lowest point is T = mv ^2 r + mg To complete the vertical circle, the minimum velocity should be v = 5 gr aligned T & = m ( 5 gr )^2 r + mg R & =5 mg + mg T & =6 mg aligned
