NEET 2017 Physics Centripetal Force MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

One end of string of length l is connected to a particle of mass ‘m’ and the other end is connected to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in circle with speed ‘v’, the net force on the particle (directed towards centre) will be (T represents the tension in the string)

A

T

B

T + mv²/l

C

T - mv²/l

D

Zero

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The centripetal force required for circular motion is provided by the tension in the string minus the centrifugal force (mv²/l).
