As shown in the figure at point O a mass is performing vertical circular motion. The average velocity of the particle is increased, then at which point will the string break


- AA
- BB
- CC
- DD
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
When a sphere is rotating in a vertical circle, it exerts the maximum outward pull when it is at the lowest point B.
Therefore, tension at B is maximum =
So, the string breaks at point B.
