A
Mg and T only
B
Mg, T and an additional force of mv 2 /r directed inwards
C
Mg, T and an additional force of mv 2 /r directed outwards
D
Only a force mv 2 /r directed outwards

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

The force mv 2 /r directed outwards, called centrifugal force, is not a real force

At A, mv 1 2 /l = T 1 + mg.
