A vehicle is moving with a constant speed of \(10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in a circular horizontal track of radius 20 m . A bob is suspended from the roof of a vehicle by a massless string. The angle made by the string with the vertical will be (acceleration due to gravity, \(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1}(0 \cdot 5)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\tan \theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}\) \(\tan \theta = \frac{(10)^2}{20 \times 10} = \frac{100}{200} = 0.5\)
