Two bodies of masses \(\mathrm{m}\) and \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) are rotating in horizontal circles of radius \(r\) and \(\frac{r}{3}\) respectively. The tangential speed of body of mass \(m\) is \(n\) times that of the value of heavier body. while the centripetal force is same for both. The value of \(n\) is

  1. A 3
  2. B 9
  3. C 1
  4. D 6
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centripetal force is same on both, therefore:
\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{m(n v)^2}{r}=\frac{3 m v^2}{\left(\frac{r}{3}\right)} \\ & \Rightarrow n^2=9 \\ & \Rightarrow n=3\end{aligned}\)
