Two stones of masses \(\mathrm{m}\) and \(3 \mathrm{~m}\) are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in radius \(\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{3}\right)\) and lighter one in radius ' \(\mathrm{r}^{\prime}\). The tangential speed of lighter stone is 'n' times that of the value of heavier stone, when they experience same centripetal force. The value of \(\mathrm{n}\) is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Centripetal force \(=\frac{\mathrm{mV}_{1}^{2}}{\mathrm{r}}=\frac{3 \mathrm{mV}_{2}^{2}}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{3}\right)}\)
\(\begin{aligned} \frac{\mathrm{V}_{1}^{2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{2}^{2}} &=9 \\ \frac{\mathrm{V}_{1}^{2}}{\mathrm{~V}_{2}^{2}} &=3 \end{aligned}\)
