A stone of mass 0.25 kg tied to the end of a string is whirled round in a circle of radius 1.5 m with a speed of 40 rev/min in a horizontal plane. the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value and the string breaks suddenly, which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks?

Q. A stone of mass $0.25 k g$ tied to the end of a string is whirled round in a circle of radius $1.5 m$ with a speed of $40 re v / min$ in a horizontal plane. the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value and the string breaks suddenly, which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks?

A

The stone moves radially inwards.

B

The stone moves radially outwards.

C

The stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks.

D

The stone flies off at an angle with the tangent whose magnitude depends on the speed of the particle

Solution:

Due to first law of Newton
