A stone of mass 1 kg is tied with a string and it is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 1m. If tension at the highest point is 14N, then velocity at lowest point will be:
The correct option is:C: 6 m/s
Mass of the stone, m=1kg
Radius, r=1m
Tension, T=14N
Let v1 is velocityat the top point and v2 is at the bottom point.
The tension at the top pointis:
T=mv21r+mg
14=(1)v211+g⟹14=v21+10
v21=4⟹v1=2
So, total kinetic energy atthe bottom is:
12mv22=(mgh)bottom+12mv21
12mv22=20+2
v22=44⟹v=√44=6.63ms−1
