Question

On a train moving along east with a constant speed v, a boy revolves a bob with string of length on smooth surface of a train, with equal constant speed v relative to train. Mark the correct option(s).

Options

A.Maximum speed of bob is 2 v in ground frame.
B.Tension in string connecting bob is $\frac{4mv^{2}}{\mathcal{l}}$ at an instant.
C.Tension in string is $\frac{mv^{2}}{\mathcal{l}}$ at all the moments.
D.Minimum speed of bob is zero in ground frame.

Solution

Sol. Circular motion is in train's frame. In this frame sped v is constant.

${\overrightarrow{v}}_{bob,ground} = {\overrightarrow{v}}_{b,T} + {\overrightarrow{v}}_{T}$

vmax = v + v = 2v

vmin = –v + v = 0

$T = \frac{mv^{2}}{\mathcal{l}}$
