MHT CET2018PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions
A mass attached to one end of a string crosses topmost point on a vertical circle with critical speed. Its centripetal acceleration when string becomes horizontal will be ( g = gravitational acceleration)
Options
- Ag
- B3 g
- C4 g
- D6 g
Correct answer
B. 3 g
Step-by-step solution
Critical velocity at top most point v = r g ∴ Velocity when string become horizontal v ' = υ 2 + 2 g r = 3 g r Centripetal acceleration = υ 2 r = 3 r g r = 3 g
