If, in , the speed of the stone is increased beyond the maximum permissible value, and the string breaks suddenly, which of the following correctly describes the trajectory of the stone after the string breaks :
(a) the stone moves radially outwards,
(b) the stone flies off tangentially from the instant the string breaks,
(c) the stone flies off at an angle with the tangent whose magnitude depends on the speed of the particle ?

Verified by Experts

At instant string break stone will move in direction of tangent to circular path in uniform circular motion velocity at every instant when string break by Newton first law of motion stone will travel in direction of trangent to circular path
