Vertical circular motion
Question

A particle is moving in the vertical plane. It is attached at one end of a string of length l whose other end is fixed. The velocity at the lowest point is u. The tension in the string is T and velocity of the particle is v at any position. Then, which of the following quantity will remain constant.

Moderate
Solution

The tension vector T is always normal to velocity vector. Hence T .v is always zero.
