5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
medium
A particle is moving in a vertical circle. The tensions in the string when passing through two positions at angles $30^o $ and $60^o $ from vertical (lowest position) are $T_1 and T_2$ respectively. then
A
$T_1 = T_2$
B
$T_2 > T_1$
C
$T_1 > T_2$
D
Tension in the string always remains the same
Solution
(c) Tension, $T = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} + mg\cos \theta $
For, $\theta = 30^\circ ,{T_1} = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} + mg\cos 30^\circ $
$\theta = 60^\circ ,{T_2} = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} + mg\cos 60^\circ $
$\therefore {T_1} > {T_2}$
