A stone of mass of $16\, kg$ is attached to a string $144 \,m$ long and is whirled in a horizontal circle. The maximum tension the string can withstand is $16$ Newton. The maximum velocity of revolution that can be given to the stone without breaking it, will be ....... $ms^{-1}$

(d) Maximum tension = $\frac{{m{v^2}}}{r} = 16N$

$⇒$ $\frac{{16 \times {v^2}}}{{144}} = 16$

$⇒ v = 12\, m/s$

    When a body slides down from rest along a smooth inclined plane making an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, it takes time $T$. When the same body slides down from the rest along a rough inclined plane making the same angle and through the same distance, it takes time $\alpha {T}$, where $\alpha$ is a constant greater than $1 .$ The co-efficient of friction between the body and the rough plane is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{{x}}}\left(\frac{\alpha^{2}-1}{\alpha^{2}}\right)$ where ${x}=..... .$
