Solution
The correct option is A6mg As per the question, the situation can be represented as
We have the force equation as TLower=mg+mu2r TUpper=mv2r−mg
So we have TLower−TUpper=mr(u2−v2)+2mg...(1)
Also, we have u2−v2=[(√5rg)2−(√rg)2]=4rg...(2)
Putting value of (2) in (1) we have TLower−TUpper=mr×4rg+2mg=6mg
