JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 24th January Evening Shift - No. 19)
A body of mass 200g is tied to a spring of spring constant 12.5 N/m, while the other end of spring is fixed at point O. If the body moves about O in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular speed 5 rad/s. Then the ratio of extension in the spring to its natural length will be :
1 : 2
2 : 3
2 : 5
1 : 1
Explanation
$12.5(x)=\frac{1}{5}(5)^{2}(\ell+x)$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{2} x=\ell+x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} x=\ell$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{\ell}=\frac{2}{3}$
