    A cable in the form of a spiral roll (shown in the figure) has a linear density \[\rho .\]It is uncoiled at a uniform speed v. If the total length of the cable is L. The work done in uncoiling the cable is

    A) \[\rho L{{v}^{2}}/4\]

    B)  \[\rho L{{v}^{2}}/2\]

    C)  \[\rho L{{v}^{2}}/3\]

    D)  \[\rho L{{v}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Initial speed of the coil is 0 m/s. Final speed = v (uncoiling speed) Mass of the coil \[=\rho L\] Thus, work done \[W=\Delta KE={{K}_{f}}-{{K}_{i}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\times (\rho L){{(v)}^{2}}-0=\frac{1}{2}\rho L{{v}^{2}}\]
