Two stones of masses m and 2m are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in radius and the lighter one in radius r. The tangential speed of lighter stone is n times that of the value of heavier stone when they experience same centripetal forces. The value of n is:
3
4
1
2
As we discussed in concept
Force in non-uniform Circular Motion -
Ft = mat
m = mass
ac= centripetal acceleration
at = tangen tial acceleration
Fc = centripetal force
- wherein
W is not equal to zero by tangential force.
W = 0 by centripetal force
i.e n=2
