A simple body hanging freely and at rest is vertical because in that position.

A

Kinetic energy is zero

B

Kinetic energy is minimum

C

Potential energy is zero

D

Potentential energy is minimum

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Because in this its potential energy is minimum
`PE=1/2,momega^2y^2`
In vertical position `y=0`,
`therefore PE=0`.
