  3. C8.82N8 . 82N
  4. D17.8N17 . 8N

Correct answer

B. 9.8N9 . 8N

Step-by-step solution

Given that 

A stone of mass 900g is tied to a string and moved in a vertical circle of radius 1m making 10rpm . The tension in the

Given the mass m=900g=9001000kg=910kgm = 900g = \dfrac{900}{1000}kg = \dfrac{9}{10}kg,

The radius of the circular path r=1mr = 1m

And, the angular velocity

ω=2πN60=2π(10)60=π3rads−1\omega = \dfrac{2\pi N}{60} = \dfrac{2\pi ( 10 )}{60} = \dfrac{\pi}{3}rad{s}^{- 1}

With reference to the above diagram, the formula to calculate the tension at the lowermost point can be written as

T−mg=mrω2⇒T=mg+mrω2...(1)T - mg = mr{\omega}^{2} ⇒ T = mg + mr{\omega}^{2} . . . \left(1\right)

From equation (1), it follows that

{T=910×9.8+910×1(π3)2=8.82+910×π29=8.82+0.98=9.8N\begin{cases}T & = & \dfrac{9}{10} \times 9 . 8 + \dfrac{9}{10} \times 1{\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)}^{2} \\ & = & 8 . 82 + \dfrac{9}{10} \times \dfrac{{\pi}^{2}}{9} \\ & = & 8 . 82 + 0 . 98 \\ & = & 9 . 8N\end{cases}
