MCQ
A mass is supported on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is attached to a string and rotates about a fixed centre at an angular velocity ${\omega _0}$. If the length of the string and angular velocity are doubled, the tension in the string which was initially ${T_0}$ is now
  • A
    ${T_0}$
  • B
    ${T_0}/2$
  • C
    $4{T_0}$
  • $8{T_0}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$8{T_0}$
d
(d) Tension in the string ${T_0} = mR\omega _0^2$

In the second case $T = m(2R)(4\omega _0^2) = 8mR\omega _0^2$$ = 8{T_0}$
