JEE Main2013PhysicsRotational MotionActual
A uniform sphere of weight W and radius 5 ~cm is being held by a string as shown in the figure. The tension in the string will be :
Options
- A12 W 5
- B5 W 12
- C13 W 5
- D13 W 12
Correct answer
D. 13 W 12
Step-by-step solution
aligned & PQ = OP ^2+ OQ ^2 & = 13^2+5^2 =12 aligned Tension in the string T , so, T = w T = w = 13 12 ~W
