Kinematics Question 566

Question: The maximum and minimum tension in the string whirling in a circle of radius 2.5 m with constant velocity are in the ratio 5 : 3 then it’s velocity is [Pb. PET 2003]

Options:

A) 98m/s

B)7m/s

C) 490m/s

D) 4.9

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

In this problem it’s assumed that particle although moving in a vertical loop but it’s speed remain constant. Tension at lowest point Tmax=mv2r+mg Tension at highest point Tmin=mv2rmg

TmaxTmin=mv2r+mgmv2rmg=53 by solving we get,v=4gr

=4×9.8×2.5

=98m/s
