Question: A mass of 2 kg it’s whirled in a horizontal circle by means of a string at an initial speed of 5 revolutions per minute. Keeping the radius constant the tension in the string is doubled. The new speed is nearly [MP PMT/PET 1998; JIPMER 2000]

Options:

A) 14 rpm

B)10 rpm

C) 2.25 rpm

D)7 rpm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Tension in the string T=mω2r=4π2n2mr Tn2

therefore n2n1=T2T1

therefore n2=52TT=7rpm
