A stone of mass m tied to a string of length l is rotated in a circle with the other end of the string as the centre. The speed of the stone is v. If the string breaks, the stone will move

A

towards the centre

B

away from the centre

C

along a tangent

D

will stop

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
When string breack, only tangential component of acceleration will survive. Hence, path following is tangential to circular path.
