MCQ
A conical pendulum is moving in a circle with angular velocity $\omega $ as shown. If tension in the string is $T$ , which of following equation are correct?
  • $T = m{\omega ^2}l$
  • B
    $T\,\sin \,\theta  = m{\omega ^2}l$
  • C
    $T = mg\,\cos \theta $
  • D
    $T\, = m{\omega ^2}\,l\,\sin \,\theta $

Answer

Correct option: A.
$T = m{\omega ^2}l$
a
$r=\ell \sin \theta$

$  \mathrm{T} \sin \theta=\mathrm{m} \omega^{2} \ell \sin \theta$

$\Rightarrow  \mathrm{T}=\mathrm{m} \omega^{2} \ell $

$\mathrm{T} \cos \theta=\mathrm{mg}$
