Q. A ball of mass $(m)0.5\ kg$ is attached to the end of a string having length $(L)0.5\ m.$ The ball is rotated on a horizontal circular path about vertical axis. The maximum tension that the string can bear is $324\ N.$ The maximum possible value of angular velocity of ball (in radian/s) is

A) 9
B) 18
C) 27
D) 36
Explanation

(d) [image:14_image88.emf]
$T\sin\theta = mL\sin{\theta\omega^{2}}$
$324 = 0.5 \times 0.5 \times \omega^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \omega^{2} = \frac{324}{0.5 \times 0.5}$
$\Rightarrow \omega = \sqrt{\frac{324}{0.5 \times 0.5}}$
$\Rightarrow \omega = \frac{18}{0.5} = 36\ rad/sec$
