The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces acting on a particle rotating in a vertical circle and use the given ratio of maximum and minimum tension in the string. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Forces**: - At the top of the vertical circle (point A), the forces acting on the particle are: - Tension (T_A) acting downwards - Weight (mg) acting downwards - Centripetal force (F_c) required to keep the particle in circular motion, which is provided by the tension and weight. - At the bottom of the vertical circle (point B), the forces are: - Tension (T_B) acting upwards - Weight (mg) acting downwards - Centripetal force (F_c) is provided by the tension minus the weight. 2. **Write the Equations for Tension**: - At the top (point A): \[ T_A + mg = F_c \quad \text{(1)} \] - At the bottom (point B): \[ T_B - mg = F_c \quad \text{(2)} \] 3. **Express Centripetal Force**: - Centripetal force is given by: \[ F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r} \] - Where \( v \) is the speed of the particle and \( r \) is the radius of the circle. 4. **Substituting Centripetal Force into Tension Equations**: - From equation (1): \[ T_A = F_c - mg = \frac{mv^2}{r} - mg \] - From equation (2): \[ T_B = F_c + mg = \frac{mv^2}{r} + mg \] 5. **Set Up the Ratio of Tensions**: - Given the ratio of maximum tension (T_B) to minimum tension (T_A) is \( \frac{5}{3} \): \[ \frac{T_B}{T_A} = \frac{\frac{mv^2}{r} + mg}{\frac{mv^2}{r} - mg} = \frac{5}{3} \] 6. **Cross Multiply to Solve for v**: - Cross multiplying gives: \[ 3\left(\frac{mv^2}{r} + mg\right) = 5\left(\frac{mv^2}{r} - mg\right) \] - Expanding both sides: \[ 3\frac{mv^2}{r} + 3mg = 5\frac{mv^2}{r} - 5mg \] - Rearranging terms: \[ 3mg + 5mg = 5\frac{mv^2}{r} - 3\frac{mv^2}{r} \] \[ 8mg = 2\frac{mv^2}{r} \] 7. **Simplifying the Equation**: - Cancel \( m \) from both sides: \[ 8g = 2\frac{v^2}{r} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ v^2 = 4gr \] 8. **Substituting Values**: - Given \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) and \( r = 2 \, \text{m} \): \[ v^2 = 4 \times 10 \times 2 = 80 \] - Therefore, taking the square root: \[ v = \sqrt{80} = 4\sqrt{5} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer: The speed of the revolving body is \( 4\sqrt{5} \, \text{m/s} \).
