A mass is supported on a frictionless hori

Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

A mass is supported on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is attached to a string and rotates about a fixed centre at an angular velocity ${\omega _0}$. If the length of the string and angular velocity are doubled, the tension in the string which was initially ${T_0}$ is now

A

${T_0}$

B

${T_0}/2$

C

$4{T_0}$

D

$8{T_0}$

A mass is supported on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is attached to a string and rotates about a fixed centre at an angular velocity ${\omega _0}$. If the length of the string and angular velocity are doubled, the tension in the string which was initially ${T_0}$ is now

Tension in the string ${T_0} = mR\omega _0^2$

In the second case $T = m(2R)(4\omega _0^2) = 8mR\omega _0^2$$ = 8{T_0}$
