[Kerala (Engg.) 2001]

Options:

A) $ mg $ B)$ m(g+\pi ,n,r^{2}) $ C) $ m(g+\pi ,n,r) $ D)$ m{g+({{\pi }^{2}},n^{2},r)/900} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ T=mg+m{{\omega }^{2}}r=m{g+4{{\pi }^{2}}n^{2}r} $

$ =m{ g+( 4{{\pi }^{2}}{{( \frac{n}{60} )}^{2}}r ) }=m{ g+( \frac{{{\pi }^{2}}n^{2}r}{900} ) } $
