Conical Pendulum & Funnel

A string of length 'LL' fixed at one end carries a body of mass 'mm' at the other end. The mass is revolved in a circle in the horizontal plane about a vertical axis passing through the fixed end of the string. The string makes angle 'θ\theta' with the vertical. The angular frequency of the body is 'ω\omega'. The tension in the string is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Radius of the circle r=Lsin⁡θr = L\sin\theta.
  2. Tsin⁡θ=mω2Lsin⁡θT\sin\theta = m\omega^2 L\sin\theta
  3. T=mLω2T = mL\omega^2
  4. So the answer is (b).
