Circular MotionHard

Question

On horizontal smooth surface a mass of 2 kg is whirled in a horizontal circle by means of a string at an initial angular speed of 5 revolutions per minute. Keeping the radius constant the tension in the string is doubled. The new angular speed is nearly:           

Options

A.14 rpm
B.10 rpm
C.2.25 rpm
D.7 rpm

Solution

T = mω2r
⇒ T1 = 2T = mω12 r
ω1 = √2 ω = √2 × 5 = √50 ~ 7 rev/min    Ans.
