4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
hard
A small block of mass $100\,g$ is tied to a spring of spring constant $7.5\,N / m$ and length $20\, cm$. The other end of spring is fixed at a particular point $A$. If the block moves in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular velocity $5\,rad / s$ about point $A$, then tension in the spring is $.........\,N$
A$1.5$
B$0.75$
C$0.25$
D$0.50$
(JEE MAIN-2023)
Solution

Radius of circle $r=0.2+ x$
$Kx = m \omega^2 r$
$7.5 x =\left(\frac{1}{10}\right)\left(5^2\right)(0.2+ x )$
$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{2} x =\frac{5}{2}\left( x +\frac{1}{5}\right)$
$\Rightarrow x =\frac{1}{10}$
$\therefore \text { Tension in spring }= kx =7.5 \times \frac{1}{10}=0.75\,N$
