Questions  

A small sphere is suspended by a string of length l. The sphere is making oscillatory motion between extreme positions A and B then 

a
Rate of work done by the gravitational force is zero at A, B and C.
b
work done by the tension in the string is always zero
c
both 1 and 2 are wrong
d
both 1 and 2 are right

detailed solution

Correct option is D

At the extreme positions A and B, velocity is zero. Tension induced in the string is always perpendicular to the direction of motion. Since power delivered by tension is T→.V→, it is always zero. Power delivered by gravitational force is F→g.V→. At position C, Fg→ and V→ are mutually perpendicular and at the extreme positions V→ is zero. So option (1) is also right. Therefore, (4) is the correct option.
