Question

Three point masses each of mass 'm' are joined together using a string to form an equuilateral trinagle of side 'a'. The system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface and rotated with a constant angular velocity '${\omega }^{\prime }$ about a vertical axis passing through the centroid. Then the tension in each string is

• A. $3ma{\omega }^2$
• B. $ma{\omega }^2$
• C. $\frac{ma{\omega }^2}{3}$
• D. $\frac{ma{\omega }^2}{\sqrt{3}}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{ma{\omega }^2}{3}$

Hence, option $\left(C\right)$ is correct answer.
