Q. A stone of mass

m

, tied to the end of a string, is whirled around in a horizontal circle (neglect the force due to gravity). The length of the string is reduced gradually keeping the angular momentum of the stone about the centre of the circle constant. Then the tension in the string is given by

T - A r^{n}

A

r

is the instantaneous radius of the circle and

Q. A stone of mass

m

, tied to the end of a string, is whirled in a horizontal circle in zero gravity. The length of the string is gradually decreased without exerting any external torque. At an instant when the radius of the circle is r, the tension in the string is

T = A r^{- n}

A

is a constant. Find the value of n (integer only)
