A body of mass $m$ is moving in a circle of radius $r$ with a constant speed $u$. The force on the body is $mv^2/r$ and is directed towards the centre. What is the work done by this force in moving the body over half the circumference of the circle?

  • A

    $\frac {mv^2}{r}\,\times \pi r$

  • B

    zero

  • C

    $\frac {mv^2}{r}$

  • D

    $\frac {\pi r^2}{mv^2}$
