A small block of mass m is attached to one end of a string OA of length l as shown in figure. The end O of the string is fixed at point O and the block is released with the string horizontal. If m=2kg, find the maximum tension induced in the string. Take g=10m/s2.

a
80 N
b
100 N
c
40 N
d
60 N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Tension in the string is maximum when the string will be vertical. At this instant, conserving energy, 12mV2=mgl⇒mV2l=2 mg∴ Tmax⁡=mg+mV2l=mg+2mg=3×2×10 N=60 N
