Physics Two Dimensional Motion Question 317
Question: A ball of mass 0.1 Kg. is whirled in a horizontal circle of radius 1 m. by means of a string at an initial speed of 10 R.P.M.Keeping the radius constant, the tension in the string is reduced to one quarter of its initial value.The new speed is

Options:
A) 5 r.p.m. B)10 r.p.m. C) 20 r.p.m. D) 14 r.p.m.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
$ T=m{{\omega }^{2}}r $
Therefore $ \omega \propto \sqrt{T} $ $ \frac{{\omega _{2}}}{{\omega _{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\Rightarrow {\omega _{2}}=\frac{{\omega _{1}}}{2}=5,rpm $
