Question

A mass is kept on a horizontal frictionless surface. It is attached to a string and rotates about a fixed centre at an angular velocity ω. If the length of the string and angular velocity are doubled, find the tension in the string which was initially T0.

Open in App
Solution

Angular velocity =ω
Tension in the string, To=mlω2
If the length of the string and angular velocity are doubled:
New tension, T=m×2l×4ω2
T=8mlω2
T=8To
