A 0.4kg stone in a vertical circle of radius 2m has a tension of 20N at the bottom. What is the tension at the top? (Tak
At bottom: Tb−mg=mvb2/r⇒20−0.4×10=0.4×vb2/2. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 0.4. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.
