A string of length ' \(L\) ' fixed at one end carries a mass ' \(m\) ' at the other end. The string makes \(\frac{3}{\pi}\) r.p.s. around the vertical axis through fixed end. The tension in the string is

  1. A 72 mL
  2. B 18 mL
  3. C 9 mL
  4. D 36 mL
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 36 mL

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the free body diagram

On considering horizontal force balance:
\(\mathrm{T} \sin \theta=\mathrm{m} \omega^2 \mathrm{R}\)
Using the geometry, \(\mathrm{R}=\mathrm{L} \sin \theta\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{T}=\left(\mathrm{m} \omega^2 \mathrm{~L}\right)\)
Given, \(\omega=\left(\frac{3}{\pi}\right)\) r.p.s. \(=\left(\frac{3}{\pi}\right)(2 \pi) \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}=6 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{T}=36 \mathrm{~mL}\)
