Question

A bob of mass m is suspended from point O by a massless string of length l as shown. At the bottommost point it is given a velocity u=12gl for l=1m and m=1kg, match the following two columns when string becomes horizontal (g=10ms2)

Solution

Given : u=12gl m=1kg l=1 m g=10m/s2

Let the velocity of the bob be v when the string becomes horizontal.
Using work-energy theorem : W=ΔK.E
mgl=12mv212mu2

OR 2gl=v2(12gl) v=10gl

v=10×10×1=10 m/s

Radial acceleration, ar=v2l=1021=100 m/s2
Tension in the string, T=mar=1×100=100 N
Tangential acceleration, at=mg=1×10=10 N

Total acceleration, a=a2r+a2t=(100)2+(10)2=10101=100.5 m/s2
