How much work is done on a body of mass m in moving it around a horizontal circle of radius R?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Centripetal force is always directed along the perpendiculer to the direction of motion.Hence no work is doen by this force `W=overlineF.overlineX=overlineFXcos(pi/2)=0`
