The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of a particle of mass \( m \) that is tied to a string of length \( L \) and whirled in a horizontal plane with a tension \( T \) in the string, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces Acting on the Particle**: The only force providing the necessary centripetal force to keep the particle moving in a circular path is the tension \( T \) in the string. 2. **Centripetal Force Equation**: The centripetal force \( F_c \) required to keep the particle moving in a circle is given by the formula: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{R} \] where \( v \) is the speed of the particle and \( R \) is the radius of the circular path. In this case, the radius \( R \) is equal to the length of the string \( L \). 3. **Relate Tension to Centripetal Force**: Since the tension \( T \) in the string provides the centripetal force, we can set the tension equal to the centripetal force: \[ T = \frac{mv^2}{L} \] 4. **Solve for Speed \( v \)**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( v \), we get: \[ mv^2 = TL \] \[ v^2 = \frac{TL}{m} \] \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}} \] 5. **Final Expression for Speed**: Thus, the speed of the particle is: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}} \] ### Final Answer: The speed of the particle is \( v = \sqrt{\frac{TL}{m}} \). ---
