A sphere of radius and mass is attached to the lower end of a steel wire of length & diameter . The wire is suspended from high ceiling of a room. When the sphere is made to swing like a simple pendulum, it just grazes the floor at its lowest point. Calculate the velocity of the sphere at the lowest position. for steel = 

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
As the length of the wire is and diameter and at the lowest point, it grazes the floor which is at a distance from the roof, the increase in the length of the wire at lowest point
So the tension in the wire (due to elasticity)
L = \dfrac{1\text{.}994 \times 1{0}^{11} \times \pi\left(5 \times 1{0}^{- 4}\right)2 \times 0\text{.}02}{5} ==199\text{.}}4\pi\text{ N}
and as the equation of circular - motion of a mass tied to a string in a vertical plane is
T - m\theta T - m
But here
So \left(\dfrac{8\piv^{2}}{5 . 12}\right) = 199\text{.}4\pi - 8\pi \times 9\text{.}8v^{2} = \left(1 2 1 \times 5 \text{.} 1 2 / 8\right) = 7 7 \text{.} 4 4v = 8 . 8ms^{- 1}
