A wire of length 2.5 m is fixed at one end and a box of mass 4 kg is tied at the other end. If the wire rotates in a horizontal circle about the fixed end with \(\frac{2}{\pi}\) rotations per second, then the tension in the wire is

  1. A 16 N
  2. B 32 N
  3. C 64 N
  4. D 160 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 160 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\omega = 2\pi f = 2\pi \left(\frac{2}{\pi}\right) = 4 \text{ rad/s}\) \(T = mL\omega^2 = 4 \text{ kg} \times 2.5 \text{ m} \times (4 \text{ rad/s})^2 = 160 \text{ N}\)
