The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the statement. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states that "Power delivered by the tension in the wire to a body in vertical circle is always zero." 1. **Understanding Power**: Power (P) is defined as the rate at which work is done, which can also be expressed as the dot product of force (F) and velocity (v): \[ P = F \cdot v = Fv \cos(\theta) \] where \(\theta\) is the angle between the force and the direction of velocity. 2. **Direction of Tension and Velocity**: In vertical circular motion, the tension in the wire acts towards the center of the circle (radially inward), while the velocity of the body is tangential to the circle. 3. **Angle Between Tension and Velocity**: The angle \(\theta\) between the tension (T) and the velocity (v) is always 90 degrees because they are perpendicular to each other. 4. **Calculating Power**: Since \(\cos(90^\circ) = 0\), the power delivered by the tension is: \[ P = T v \cos(90^\circ) = T v \cdot 0 = 0 \] Therefore, the assertion is true. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states that "Tension in the wire is equal to the centripetal force acting on the body doing vertical circular motion." 1. **Understanding Centripetal Force**: The centripetal force required to keep an object moving in a circle is given by: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] where \(m\) is the mass of the object, \(v\) is its tangential speed, and \(r\) is the radius of the circular path. 2. **Forces Acting on the Body**: In vertical circular motion, the forces acting on the body at the lowest point include: - The tension (T) in the wire acting upwards. - The weight (mg) of the body acting downwards. 3. **Net Force for Circular Motion**: The net force providing the centripetal acceleration is the difference between the tension and the weight: \[ T - mg = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] This shows that the tension is not equal to the centripetal force alone; rather, it is the net force that provides the centripetal acceleration. 4. **Conclusion on Reason**: Since tension is not equal to the centripetal force (it includes the weight of the body), the reason is false. ### Final Conclusion - The assertion (A) is true: Power delivered by the tension in the wire to a body in vertical circular motion is always zero. - The reason (R) is false: Tension in the wire is not equal to the centripetal force acting on the body. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true and the reason is false.
