5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
medium
A stone of mass $150\ g$ moves in a vertical circle on the end of a length of string. The radius of the cirlce is $70\ cm$ and the speed of the stone at the topmost point $P$ is $3.5\ m/s$ . For the instant at which the stone passes through the highest point $P$ , the centripetal force is nearly ......... $N$ (take $g = 10\ m/s^2$ )
A
$2.63$
B
$26.3$
C
$1.13$
D
None of the above
Solution
$\frac{\mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{0.15 \times 3.5^{2}}{0.7}$
$\approx 2.63 \mathrm{N}$
