A body performing uniform circular motion of radius ' \(R\) ' has frequency ' \(n\) '. Its centripetal acceleration per unit radius is proportional to \((n)^x\). The value of \(x\) is

  1. A 1
  2. B 2
  3. C -1
  4. D -2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centripetal acceleration is given by,
\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{c}}=\omega^2 \mathrm{R} \\
& \frac{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{R}}=(2 \pi \mathrm{n})^2 \\
& \frac{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{c}}}{\mathrm{R}}=4 \pi^2 \mathrm{n}^2
\end{aligned}\)
Comparing the above result with \((\mathrm{n})^{\mathrm{x}}\)
\(x=2\)
