A mass attached to a string of length L is revolved in a vertical circle with least velocity. The string breaks when the mass reaches at the highest point. The mass describes a parabolic path, then range of body w.r.t. the lowest point is
A
L 2
B
L
C
2L
D
L
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Velocity at the highest point,
v h = 
Height of the mass = 2L
Time taken to fall = 
Horizontal distance covered
= v h t = 
= 2L
