A body of mass 200g200g is tied to a spring of spring constant 12.5Nm−112 . 5N{m}^{- 1}, while the other end of spring is fixed at point OO. If the body moves about OO in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular speed 5rads−15rad{s}^{- 1}, then the ratio of extension in the spring to its natural length will be :A body of mass 200g is tied to a spring of spring constant 12 . 5N m ^ - 1 , while the other end of spring is fixed at

Options

  1. A1:21: 2
  2. B1:11: 1
  3. C2:32: 3
  4. D2:52: 5

Correct answer

C. 2:32: 3

Step-by-step solution

Let the extension in spring be xx and the natural length of spring be ll.

A body of mass 200g is tied to a spring of spring constant 12 . 5N m ^ - 1 , while the other end of spring is fixed at

Here the centrifugal force will stretch the spring.

So, centrifugal force=spring force

kx=m(l+x)ω2⇒12.5x=15(l+x)25⇒1.5x=l⇒xl=11.5=23kx = m\left(l + x\right){\omega}^{2} ⇒ 12 . 5x = \dfrac{1}{5}\left(l + x\right)25 ⇒ 1 . 5x = l ⇒ \dfrac{x}{l} = \dfrac{1}{1 . 5} = \dfrac{2}{3}

⇒x:l=2:3⇒ x: l = 2: 3
