MCQ
A mass attached to a string that is itself attached to the ceiling swings back and forth. If the bob is observed to be moving upward at a given instance, as shown to the right, which arrow best depicts the direction of the net force acting on the bob at that instant:
  • A
    $A$
  • B
    $B$
  • $C$
  • D
    $D$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$C$
Two forces act on the bob. $(i)$ is the tension in the string and the $(ii)\ mg \sin I,$ which will be tangential to the path.
The resultant of both the forces will be along vector $C$
