A ball of mass ' \(\mathrm{m}\) ' is attached to the free end of a string of length ' \(l\) '. The ball is moving in horizontal circular path about the vertical axis as shown in the diagram.
The angular velocity ' \(\omega\) ' of the ball will be [ \(\mathrm{T}=\) Tension in the string. \(]\)

  1. A \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T} l}{\mathrm{~m}}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Tm}}{l}}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m} l}{\mathrm{~T}}}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{m} l}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{m} l}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


The tension in the string can be resolved in two components along the perpendicular axis. The gravitational force is acting downwards and the centrifugal force is acting in \(-\mathrm{x}\) direction
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T} \sin \theta=\mathrm{mr} \omega^2 \\
\therefore \quad & \omega^2=\frac{\mathrm{T} \sin \theta}{\mathrm{mr}}
\end{aligned}
\)
\(\therefore \quad \omega=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T} \sin \theta}{\mathrm{mr}}}\)
From figure, \(\sin \theta=\frac{\mathrm{r}}{l}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore \quad \omega=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{Tr}}{\mathrm{mr} l}} \\
& \therefore \quad \omega=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{m} l}} \end{aligned}
\)
