4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
hard

A body of mass $200\,g$ is tied to a spring of spring constant $12.5\,N / m$, while the other end of spring is fixed at point $O$. If the body moves about $O$ in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular speed $5\,rad / s$, then the ratio of extension in the spring to its natural length will be :

A$1: 2$
B$1: 1$
C$2: 3$
D$2: 5$

Solution

$kx = m \left( L _0+ x \right) \omega^2$
$\Rightarrow 12.5 x =\frac{1}{5}\left( L _0+ x \right) 25 \Rightarrow 1.5 x = L _0$ $\Rightarrow \frac{ x }{ L _0}=\frac{2}{3}$
