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

  1. A

    Rate of work done by the gravitational force is zero at A, B and C.

  2. B

    work done by the tension in the string is always zero

  3. C

    both 1 and 2 are wrong

  4. D

    both 1 and 2 are right

    Solution:

    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 Fg.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.
