Answer:

Correct Answer: 62. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Given : Mass $(m)=0.4 kg$ Its frequency $(n)=2 rev / sec$

Radius $(r)=1.2 m$. We know that linear velocity of the body $(v)=\omega r=(2 \pi n) r$ $=2 \times 3.14 \times 2 \times 1.2=15.08 m / s$.

Therefore, tension in the string when the body is at the top of the circle (T)

$ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{mv^{2}}{r}-mg=\frac{0.4 \times(15.08)^{2}}{2}-(0.4 \times 9.8) \\ & =45.78-3.92=41.56 N \end{aligned} $
