Q.
The maximum and minimum tension in the string whirling in a vertical circle of the radius 2.5m with constant speed are in the ratio 5:3 then its velocity is (g=9.8ms−2)
In this problem, it is assumed that particle although moving in a vertical loop, but its speed remains constant
Tension at lowest point Tmax=rmv2+m g
Tension at highest point Tmin=rmv2−mg TminTmax=rmv2−mgrmv2+mg=35 r3mv2+3mg=r5mv2−5mg r2mv2=8mg v=4rg =4×2.5×9.8 =98ms−1
