Two points charges are placed on x-axis as shown, a = 1 cm, q = 1muC , mass of each particle m=6g . The charges are tied at the end of an inextensible string of length 2a. The whole system is free to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. What is the tension in the string when velocity is maximum.

Two particles of mass m each are attached to a light rod of length d, one at its centre and the other at a free end, The rod is fixed at the other end is rotated in a plane at an angular speed omega .

A stone of mass m tied to the end of a string, is whirled around in a horizontal circle. (Neglect the force due to gravity). The length of the string is reduced gradually keeping the angular momentum of the stone about the centre of the circle constant. Then, the tension in the string is given by T = Ar^2 where A is a constant, r is the instantaneous radius fo the circle and n=....
