A small sphere A of mass m is tied to one end of a string of length l. The other end of the string is attached to a fixed part O. The sphere is released from rest with the string horizontal. Then the tension in the string when it is vertical is

a
mg
b
3mg
c
2mg
d
4mg

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When the string is vertical, conserving energy we get, 12mv2=mgl⇒mv2l=2mgNet radially inward force on the sphere = Tmax-mgTmax-mg=mv2l⇒Tmax=mg+2mg=3mg
