Let be radius of circle.
Here, tension provides the required centripetal force,
So, from initial condition,

and, from final condition,
...(ii)
From eqn. (i) and (ii), we get
A bob is whirled in a horizontal plane by means of a string with an initial speed of rpm. The tension in the string is T. If speed becomes while keeping the same radius, the tension in the string becomes [2024]

When the bob is moving with speed , then FBD is,

Let be the radius of the circle.
Applying Newton’s second law on mass of the bob along centripetal direction, we have

or ...(ii)
Using value of equation (ii) in equation (i),
Hence,
A particle is executing uniform circular motion with velocity and acceleration . Which of the following is true? [2023]
is a constant; is not a constant
is not a constant; is not a constant
is a constant; is a constant
is not a constant; is a constant

Direction of velocity is changing so it is not a constant and centripetal acceleration changes continuously as is not constant and therefore is also not constant.
A block of mass 10 kg is in contact against the inner wall of a hollow cylindrical drum of radius 1 m. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inner wall of the cylinder is 0.1. The minimum angular velocity needed for the cylinder to keep the block stationary when the cylinder is vertical and rotating about its axis, will be (g = 10 ) [2019]

To keep the block stationary,

One end of string of length is connected to a particle of mass and the other end is connected to a small peg on a smooth horizontal table. If the particle moves in circle with speed , the net force on the particle (directed towards centre) will be (T represents the tension in the string) [2017]

From eqns. (i) and (ii), we get
Two stones of masses and are whirled in horizontal circles, the heavier one in a radius and the lighter one in radius . The tangential speed of lighter stone is times that of the value of heavier stone when they experience same centripetal forces. The value of is [2015]
