The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that when a pendulum bob is rotating in a circle around the point of suspension, the work done by tension and weight is zero. - To evaluate this, we need to consider the forces acting on the pendulum bob. 2. **Analyzing the Work Done by Tension**: - The tension in the string acts towards the center of the circle (centripetal force). - The displacement of the bob is tangential to the circle at any point. - The angle between the tension (radial direction) and the displacement (tangential direction) is 90 degrees. - Work done (W) is given by the formula: \[ W = F \cdot d = F \cdot ds \cdot \cos(\theta) \] - Since \(\theta = 90^\circ\), \(\cos(90^\circ) = 0\). - Therefore, the work done by tension is: \[ W_{\text{tension}} = F_{\text{tension}} \cdot ds \cdot 0 = 0 \] 3. **Analyzing the Work Done by Weight**: - The weight of the bob (mg) acts vertically downward. - The displacement of the bob during its circular motion is tangential to the circle. - At different points in the circular path, the angle between the weight and the displacement changes. - Thus, the work done by weight is not zero because there are points where the angle is not 90 degrees, and hence: \[ W_{\text{weight}} \neq 0 \] 4. **Conclusion about the Assertion**: - Since the work done by tension is zero but the work done by weight is not zero, the assertion is incorrect. 5. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that work done by a force is defined as the dot product of the force vector and the displacement vector. - This definition is correct, as it aligns with the formula for work done. - Therefore, the reason is correct. 6. **Final Evaluation**: - The assertion is incorrect, and the reason is correct. - According to the options provided, the correct choice is that the assertion is incorrect and the reason is correct. ### Final Answer: The assertion is incorrect, and the reason is correct.

To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that when a pendulum bob is rotating in a circle around the point of suspension, the work done by tension and weight is zero. - To evaluate this, we need to consider the forces acting on the pendulum bob. ...
