Q80 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (31 Jan Shift 2) · Physics
A stone of mass is tied to end of a massless string of length . If the breaking tension of the string is , then maximum linear velocity, the stone can have without breaking the string, while rotating in horizontal plane, is:
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
In horizontal circle, tension towards the centre of the circular path at any moment will provide the required centripetal force.
Therefore,
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
