Centripetal Acceleration & Force

A particle is moving with uniform speed along the circumference of a circle of radius R under the action of a central fictitious force F which is inversely proportional to R3. Its time period of revolution will be given by:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. mω2R=F∝1R3m\omega^2 R = F \propto \frac{1}{R^3}
  2. ω2∝R−4⇒ω∝R−2\omega^2 \propto R^{-4} \Rightarrow \omega \propto R^{-2}
  3. T=2πω∝R2T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} \propto R^2
  4. So the answer is (d) T∝R2T \propto R^2.
