A stone of mass 1 kg is tied to end of a massless string of length 1 m . If the breaking tension of the string is 400 N , then maximum linear velocity, the stone can have without breaking the string, while rotating in horizontal plane, is:
Options
- A20   m   s - 1
- B  40   m   s - 1
- C400   m   s - 1
- D10   m   s - 1
Correct answer
A. 20   m   s - 1
Step-by-step solution
In horizontal circle, tension towards the centre of the circular path at any moment will provide the required centripetal force. Therefore, T m a x = m v 2 r ⇒ 400 = 1 × v 2 1 ⇒ v = 20   m   s - 1
