Question
A particle is moving in a circle of radius r under the action of a force F = αr2 which is directed towards centre of the circle. Total mechanical energy (kinetic energy + potential energy) of the particle is (take potential energy = 0 for r = 0) :
Options
A.1/2 αr3
B.5/6 αr3
C.4/3 αr3
D.αr3
