    A heavy stone hanging from a massless string of length 15 m is projected horizontally with speed 147 m/s. The speed of the particle at the point where the tension in the string equals the weight of the particle is

    A)  10 m/s                                

    B)  7 m/s

    C)  12 m/s                                

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     \[mg-mg\cos \theta =\frac{m{{v}^{2}}}{l}\] or            \[\frac{{{v}^{2}}}{l}=g(1-\cos \theta )\]                 \[{{v}^{2}}=gl(1-\cos \theta )\]  ... (i) Applying conservation of energy                 \[\frac{1}{2}mgl=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}+mgl(1-\cos \theta )\]                 \[{{v}^{2}}gl-2gl(1-\cos \theta )\]              ... (ii) Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[\theta ={{\cos }^{-1}}\frac{2}{3}\] From Eq. (i)                 \[{{v}^{2}}=10\times 15\left( 1-\frac{2}{3} \right)\]                 \[=150\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)=50\] \[\therefore \]  \[v=\sqrt{150}\approx 7\,m/s\]
