A body of mass m is performing a UCM in a circle of a radius r with speed v. The work done by the centripetal force in moving it through 23 rd of the circular path is

  1. A Zero
  2. B mv2πr
  3. C 2πmv2r3
  4. D 2mv2π3
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When a body perform uniform circular motion, then centripetal force acts always in perpendicular, direction to its velocity, hence work done by centripetal force is always zero.
Hence, work done by centripetal force is zero, when it through 23 rd of the circular path.
