MCQ
A $1\, kg$ stone at the end of $1\, m$ long string is whirled in a vertical circle at constant speed of $4\, m/s$. The tension in the string is $6\, N$ when the stone is at $(g = 10\, m/s^2)$
  • top of the circle
  • B
    bottom of the circle
  • C
    half way down
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
top of the circle
a
Tension at the top $ = \frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} - mg = 6\,N$
