Question

A body of mass m is rotated at uniform speed along a vertical circle with the help of light string. If T1and T2 are tensions in the string when the body is crossing highest and lowest point of the vertical circle respectively, then which of the following expressions is correct?
  1. T2T1=6mg
  2. T2T1=4mg
  3. T2T1=2mg
  4. T2T1=mg

A
T2T1=4mg
B
T2T1=6mg
C
T2T1=2mg
D
T2T1=mg
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Centripetal Force is: mv2r
At the highest point: T1=mv2rmg
At the lowest point: T2=mv2r+mg
T2T1=mv2r+mg(mv2rmg)=2mg
