Question

A stone ties to a rope is rotated in a vertical circle with uniform speed. If the difference between the maximum and minimum tension in the rope is 20 N, mass of the stone in kg is:
(g=10ms2)
  1. 0.75
  2. 1.0
  3. 1.5
  4. 0.5

A
1.5
B
0.75
C
1.0
D
0.5
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Let the mass of the stone be m, and the angular speed with which it rotates be ω.
Thus at the bottom most point,
Tbmg=mω2l
And at the top most point,
Tt+mg=mω2l
TbTt=2mg=20
mg=10
m=1 kg
