    A heavy stone hanging from a massless string of length 15m 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 the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

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