Circular Motion (Related PYQs)

A car is moving in a circular horizontal track of radius 10 m with a constant speed of 10 m/s. A bob is suspended from the roof of the car by a light wire of length 1.0 m. The angle made by the wire with the vertical is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. For the bob: Tcos⁡θ=mgT\cos\theta = mg and Tsin⁡θ=mv2rT\sin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}, so tan⁡θ=v2rg\tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{rg}.
  2. tan⁡θ=10210×10=1\tan\theta = \frac{10^2}{10 \times 10} = 1
  3. θ=π4\theta = \frac{\pi}{4}, so the answer is (c).
