Questions  

A stone tied to a string is rotated with a uniform speed in a vertical plane. If mass of the stone is m, length of the string is r and linear speed of the stone is v, then tension in the string when the stone is at its lower point is ( g = acceleration due to gravity)

a
mg
b
mv2/r
c
mv2/r−mg
d
mv2/r+mg

detailed solution

Correct option is D

We know that centrifugal force =mv2/rWhen the stone is at the lowest point, the tension in string = centrifugal force + weight of stone∴ T=mv2r+mg
