The tension in the rope is largest when the brick is at lowest point and smaller, when it is at the highest point.

Q. A brick of mass m, tied to a rope, is being whirled in a vertical circle, with a uniform speed. The tension in the rope is

the same throughout

largest when the brick is at the highest point of the circular path and smallest when it is at the lowest point

largest when the rope is horizontal and smallest when it is vertical

largest when the brick is at the lowest point and smallest when it is at the highest point

The tension in the rope is largest when the brick is at lowest point and smaller, when it is at the highest point.
