A ring of mass ‘M’ and radius ‘R’ slipped into cone kept on a horizontal surface. The cone is accelerated towards right with acceleration ‘a’. There is no friction between ring and the cone. Tension in ring at point A is-
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Tension in string = F.R
where, F = Net force in radially outward direction (excluding tension) per unit length
∴ F = ( λ g cot θ + λ a) R
( λ = mass/length)
=
